Keep a roof over Mythili's head in Thrissur
After a delayed insurance payout, Mythili is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Thrissur, Kerala, India236 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Mythili fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Mythili has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Kalyani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best, Kalyani. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
