Lalitpur

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Deepak

Update from Lalitpur: the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Thinking of Lalitpur.
