Keep a roof over Kalpana's head in Dharan
A sudden layoff left Kalpana short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
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 $600 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Rent arrears (3 months): $460
• Late fees and court costs: $15
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
any update on how things are going in Dharan?
Good luck, Kalpana. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Dharan.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kalpana.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($125) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from London.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Kampala donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Kalpana. Hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
