Keep a roof over Krishna's head in Bengaluru

A termination letter arrived last week. Krishna needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bengaluru.

When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter 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 May, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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. 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $400 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $75 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
