Kathmandu

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. 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 $500 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Rent arrears (2 months): $440 • Utilities in arrears: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Pawan

Updates from Pawan

Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($240). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($440 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending good thoughts, Pawan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
