Mumbai

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, Krishna fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave. There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Krishna 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $360 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $100 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Sneha

Quick update: $177 raised so far (32%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($161). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you the best, Sneha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
