Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Alka's family in Aurangabad
A sudden layoff left Alka short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
thinking of you, Alka. Hope you get there. All the best.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Marrakesh donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Juiz de Fora
