Keep a roof over Madhuri's head in Mumbai

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Madhuri needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mumbai.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Madhuri fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave. There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Madhuri has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $350 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $65 I hope life is good to you.
