Keep a roof over Madhuri's head in Varanasi

After a cut in working hours, Madhuri is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter 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 October, 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 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 • Rent arrears (2 months): $460 • Late fees and court costs: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Madhuri

  1. Quick update: $313 raised so far (52%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($62 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you and your family, Madhuri. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tallahassee donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Tallahassee.
