Keep a roof over Kiran's head in Thane
A divorce left Kiran short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India1,417 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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 July, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
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:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
With deep gratitude,
Kiran

Good news. Because of your gifts ($284 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Thane.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Sending strength, Kiran. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Salvador
Praying for you, Kiran. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Praying for you, Kiran. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
