Keep a roof over Sunita's head in Lucknow

The loss of a second income left Sunita 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 Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $800 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Praying for you, Sunita. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Curitiba
