Keep a roof over Gauri's head in Mumbai
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Gauri needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mumbai.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice 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 October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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): $340
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Gauri. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Iloilo City
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Mumbai.
thanks for sharing this, Gauri. Shared this with my family
Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 29 people at work. Greetings from Bandung.
