Keep a roof over Vihaan's head in Mumbai
A divorce left Vihaan short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,592 views
When the warehouse closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 3 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

37% there. I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($182 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
25% there. I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Thank you.
