Keep a roof over Sultana's head in Thiruvananthapuram

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Sultana needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Thiruvananthapuram.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $75 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sultana
