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

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit 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 July, 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 $400 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (2 months): $245
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sapna
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first month of rent as a buffer comes first ($125) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts, Sapna. 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. All the best.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mumbai.
so sorry you're going through this, Sapna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
