Keep a roof over Suhas's head in Mumbai
A long illness left Suhas short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India781 views
When the textile factory closed in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 have a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $380
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Suhas
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

Sending love, Suhas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from San Jose
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Sukkur but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Entebbe.
Sending love, Suhas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Nottingham this morning. Greetings from Nottingham.
hope it all works out, Suhas. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Kozhikode but we're thinking of you. Take care.
