Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Neha's family in Hyderabad
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Neha needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Hyderabad.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
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 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 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Neha. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Stay strong, Neha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hyderabad.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (5 months), advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck, Neha. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
