Keep a roof over Rahul's head in Mumbai
After the closure of the factory, Rahul is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 1 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $350
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Rahul. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Rahul. Hope you get there. Love from Kasarani.
