Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Ganesh's family in Kathmandu
A delayed insurance payout left Ganesh short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇵 Nepal889 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, Ganesh fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $200.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Ganesh has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Roshan. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kathmandu.
Praying for you, Roshan. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Oakland
Thinking of you, Roshan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Bucaramanga
Sending strength, Roshan. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ganesh!
First month of rent as a buffer is $125 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Good luck, Roshan. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Nsukka but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Nsukka.
Sending strength, Roshan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Rooting for you, Roshan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Roshan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning.
Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending love. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kathmandu.
