Keep a roof over Sameer's head in Kanpur
A delayed insurance payout left Sameer short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India983 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 4 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 night deliveries, 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Allentown.
You're not alone, Sameer. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
praying for you, Sameer. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Sameer. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Kanpur.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Oakland
