Keep a roof over Januka's head in Kathmandu

A long illness left Januka short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit 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 March, 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. 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 (5 months): $240 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $125 Thank you so much. - Januka

      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nagpur.

        Sending strength, Januka. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.

          You're not alone, Januka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Mandurah.

            Hang in there, Januka. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
