Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Venkat's family in Mumbai
A cut in working hours left Venkat short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, Venkat fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $150.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Venkat has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
