A termination letter arrived last week. Bisma needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gujranwala.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter 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 October, 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 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.
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 (4 months): $390
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Bisma
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($93). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $30 raised so far (5%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Bisma?
Thank you. If you're in Gujranwala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Semarang.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. All the best
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Warri.
