When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 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 September, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
• Rent arrears (3 months): $450
• Late fees and court costs: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Prayagraj.
Thank you. If you're in Prayagraj I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hang in there, Shuvo. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Thrissur so I could bring a meal.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shuvo.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Hyderabad so I could bring a meal. Take care.
how is Shuvo doing now?
