Keep a roof over Tanvi's head in Birmingham
A delayed insurance payout left Tanvi short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,764 views
When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
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 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $470
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Tanvi
Update from Birmingham: the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($390 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
