Keep a roof over Shima's head in Pune
After a divorce, Shima is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Shima fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Shima has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $390
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Taguig.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Bhopal this morning. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Masud. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
