Keep a roof over Vidya's head in Nagpur

After a long illness, Vidya is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday 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 November, 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 weekend shifts, 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $165 • Rent arrears (3 months): $420 • Late fees and court costs: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Vidya

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

    • Rungnapa Duangjai Suwannarat

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nagpur.

      • Kelechi Kelechi Lasisi

        hope things get better soon, Vidya. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Juan F. Vargas

          Praying for you, Vidya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.

          • Fatuma Rashidi

            hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Leeds!
