Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Sara's family in Mohammedia
The loss of a second income left Sara short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I've 3 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 night deliveries, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Sara. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. All the best.
take care. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Sherbrooke so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Oakland!
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Sara. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Vadodara
Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
