Keep a roof over Rohan's head in Dwarka
After the closure of the factory, Rohan is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $140, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
