Keep a roof over Zain's head in Hyderabad

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 night deliveries, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Thanks for reading all this.

keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
how is Zain doing now?
Good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Los Angeles
Thinking of you, Zain. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Aberdeen.
Good luck, Zain. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
