A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Suresh needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mangaluru.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment 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 August, we must leave.
I have two young 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Rent arrears (2 months): $395
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Suresh. Hope you get there. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Stay strong, Suresh. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Berlin.
