After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $470 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • Late fees and court costs: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nikhil

Updates from Nikhil

  1. Update from Coimbatore: I made the first payment toward rent arrears. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($19 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
