Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Sunil's family in Muzaffarpur
A long illness left Sunil short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $270
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Sunil
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($39). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.
Quick update: $29 raised so far (6%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Zaporizhzhia.
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
stay strong, Sunil. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
