Riddhi received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Riddhi short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 October, 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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100

Thinking of you and your family, Riddhi. Shared it with a few friends.
How is Riddhi doing now?
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai
so sorry you're going through this, Riddhi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Riddhi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
