Keep a roof over Rajesh's head in Coventry
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Rajesh needs $3,750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Coventry.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom4,850 views
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750.
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 two young 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $880
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Rajesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Take care, Rajesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mysuru but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Kathmandu donated after I showed her your page.
shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning.
rooting for you, Rajesh. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
good luck, Rajesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dharan
Keep going, Rajesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ballarat
