Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Divya's family in Ludhiana

Ludhiana
When the textile factory closed in July, Divya fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Divya has started working weekend shifts, and is 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 • Rent arrears (4 months): $420 • Late fees and court costs: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Shilpa
