After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Tejaswini fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Tejaswini has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Karachi.
Hang in there, Saraswathi. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Lucknow.
Stay strong, Saraswathi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
best of luck, Saraswathi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sacramento.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Savar.
