Help Farhana keep her home - 5 months behind on rent
The loss of a second income left Farhana short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Sylhet, Bangladesh699 views
Following a long illness in the family, Farhana fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice 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 March, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Farhana 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.
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:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
• Rent arrears (5 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Córdoba.
Wishing you peace, Shefali. Looking forward to the next update. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this, Shefali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nairobi.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of Sylhet.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sylhet
Thank you. If you're in Sylhet I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace, Shefali. Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks for sharing this, Shefali. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
