Haider received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Haider short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,070 views
When the warehouse closed in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I've 4 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 $300 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Rent arrears (2 months): $230
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Haider
Utilities in arrears is $35 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Makati.
rooting for you, Haider. Shared this with my family. Greetings from São Paulo.
hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bengaluru.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Kharkiv donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Kharkiv.
