Keep a roof over Diya's head in Ahmedabad
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Diya needs $700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Ahmedabad.
🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India715 views
After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $440
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Diya. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Pasig this morning. God bless
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ahmedabad.
your post was clear and honest. Love from Cần Thơ.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ahmedabad
Thank you. If you're in Ahmedabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ahmedabad.
Sending good thoughts, Diya. Your post was clear and honest.
sending strength, Diya. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Paris so I could bring a meal.
