Keep a roof over Radhika's head in Coimbatore

A delayed insurance payout left Radhika short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Coimbatore
After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $450 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Sending good thoughts, Radhika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Colorado Springs but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
