Ravi received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left Ravi short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 2 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 weekend shifts, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $280
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Ravi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
