Nashik
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $440 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  1. Quick update: $415 raised so far (64%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $360 raised so far (55%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Update from Nashik: I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Thanks for sharing this, Nikhil. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

        rooting for you, Nikhil. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nashik.

        • Shruthi E. Murthy

          Sending good thoughts, Nikhil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          • Waleed Trabelsi

            thinking of you and your family, Nikhil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care

            • Ángel C. Franco

              Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

                  You're not alone, Nikhil. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update.

                      Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

                        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nashik

                          wishing you the best, Nikhil. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
