Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Oshadi's family in Negombo
A long illness left Oshadi short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇱🇰 Negombo, Western, Sri Lanka648 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (4 months): $380
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
With deep gratitude,
Oshadi

Wishing you peace, Oshadi. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Brooklyn this morning
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Nottingham
