Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Shivam's family in Rohini
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Shivam needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Rohini.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Shivam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Rohini
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
