After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Komal fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Komal has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $430 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kiara
