Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Bhavna's family in Mangaluru
After the closure of the factory, Bhavna is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 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.
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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Rent arrears (2 months): $280
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Bhavna. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
