Keep a roof over Prabha's head in Kandy

After a sudden layoff, Prabha is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate 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 November, 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 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. 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 (3 months): $290 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $60 • First month of rent as a buffer: $155 I hope life is good to you. - Prabha

    Take care, Prabha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 39 people at work. Take care.
