When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. 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've 3 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 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. 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 $150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Utilities in arrears: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Radhika

Updates from Radhika

  1. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($27). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

  2. Update from Mumbai: we've started the first stage. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Monterrey.
