Keep a roof over Gauri's head in Varanasi

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Gauri needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Varanasi.

When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave. I've 4 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 weekend shifts, 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 $150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • Late fees and court costs: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gauri

    • Gauri E. NaikOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is first month of rent as a buffer, $70. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
