Keep a roof over Amit's head in Bengaluru

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 $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have two young 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
• Rent arrears (4 months): $280
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Amit. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
