Sandesh received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Sandesh short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India499 views
When the restaurant closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Sandesh
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
