A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Alok needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Madurai.

When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit 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 December, 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 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Rent arrears (2 months): $380
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Alok. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Coyoacán so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Alok. Hope you get there. Love from Marrakesh.
