Keep a roof over Kiran's head in Islamabad
A car accident left Kiran short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 November, 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 two part-time jobs, 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): $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $30
With deep gratitude,
Kiran

Updates from Kiran
Wanted to say thank you properly. 42% funded and I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($68 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($68). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal
keep going, Kiran. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Islamabad.
