Keep a roof over Vani's head in Nashik

Nashik
When the call centre closed in March, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have two young children 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $600 goes: โ€ข Rent arrears (2 months): $380 โ€ข Late fees and court costs: $45 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $35 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $140 Thank you for reading my story. - Vani

Updates from Vani

  1. 24% there. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Thank you.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and we've started the first stage.

  3. Small update. $65 so far, the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Scranton.
