After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment 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 three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
With deep gratitude,
Dipu

Updates from Dipu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($187 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Savar: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Update from Savar: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

You're not alone, Dipu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Lahore.
