Keep a roof over Thilini's head in Galle
A cut in working hours left Thilini short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $300 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $200
• Late fees and court costs: $40
Thanks for reading all this.
