Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Chitra's family in Nagpur

After a divorce, Chitra is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $700 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $165 • Rent arrears (5 months): $500 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Chitra

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($138 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Nagpur: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $626 raised so far (89%). I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
