Keep a roof over Salma's head in Nashik
The closure of the factory left Salma short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice 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 October, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130

Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Davao City.
Praying for you, Salma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
thinking of you and your family, Salma. Your post was clear and honest.
