Chhaya received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Chhaya short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When the textile factory closed in February, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Sheffield.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chhaya
Rent arrears (5 months) is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Thinking of Dwarka.
Hope it all works out, Chhaya. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Istanbul
Thinking of you and your family, Chhaya. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Chhaya. Shared it with a few friends.
hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Dwarka.
You're not alone, Chhaya. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Dwarka
