🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka304 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 4 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Colombo.
Thank you. If you're in Colombo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Good luck, Roshan. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Colombo.
Sending love, Roshan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
