Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Geeta's family in Mumbai
A sudden layoff left Geeta short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Rent arrears (3 months): $195
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Geeta
Quick update: $90 raised so far (26%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($15). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Hang in there, Geeta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Mumbai.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Zapopan.
So sorry you're going through this, Geeta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Geeta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Toronto.
Sending love, Geeta. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck, Geeta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal.
