Keep a roof over Gopal's head in Jaipur
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Gopal needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Jaipur.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
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 two young 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 night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $250 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Rent arrears (2 months): $220
• Late fees and court costs: $15
With deep gratitude,
Gopal

Updates from Gopal
Quick update: $157 raised so far (63%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($34). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Tallahassee but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Jaipur
Praying for you, Gopal. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Sending strength, Gopal. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
