Keep a roof over Padma's head in Varanasi
After a long illness, Padma is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India1,493 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $750 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Rent arrears (3 months): $570
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Padma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kyiv
