Keep a roof over Deepa's head in Mumbai
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Deepa needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mumbai.

When the call centre closed in July, Deepa fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Deepa has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Yogesh. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
keep going, Yogesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
stay strong, Yogesh. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Salvador so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Coyoacán
Good luck, Yogesh. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Rochester.
