Keep a roof over Jyoti's head in Durgapur
A car accident left Jyoti short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday 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 April, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
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:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Rent arrears (4 months): $530
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Jyoti. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jyoti.
Hope things get better soon, Jyoti. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
