Keep a roof over Rajesh's head in Kolkata

A termination letter arrived last week. Rajesh needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kolkata.

When the restaurant closed in March, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $400 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $210 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 I hope life is good to you. - Rajesh

    Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.

        Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
