Keep a roof over Rima's head in Aurangabad

A sudden layoff left Rima short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 $800 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rima
