Keep a roof over Shilpa's head in Noida
A long illness left Shilpa short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $310
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

sending love, Shilpa. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Dhaka
Best of luck, Shilpa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours!

Take care, Shilpa. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Noida.
Hang in there. 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. Love from San Diego.
rooting for you, Shilpa. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Riyadh!
Hope things get better soon, Shilpa. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
