Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Gopal's family in Pokhara
A long illness left Gopal short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
Anywhere in the world728 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Gopal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Sending love, Gopal. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Stay strong, Gopal. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Gatineau so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Gopal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Pokhara
I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Pune
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
hope it all works out, Gopal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best
Take care, Gopal. Shared this with my family
