Keep a roof over Naresh's head in Pokhara
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Naresh needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Pokhara.

When the packaging plant closed in October, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $65
• Late fees and court costs: $25
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naresh.
Rent arrears (4 months) is $260 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 23 people at work. God bless.
