Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Ram's family in Kathmandu
After a divorce, Ram is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

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 $700.
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 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $460
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155

Take care, Ram. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Kathmandu.
Hang in there, Ram. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
