Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Smit's family in Dwarka
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Smit needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dwarka.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate 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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Smit?
Thank you. If you're in Dwarka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you, Smit. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Take care
how is Smit doing now?
rooting for you, Smit. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best, Smit. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Dwarka
keep going, Smit. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Edinburgh so I could bring a meal.
