Help Maryam keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Maryam is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, Maryam fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
Maryam has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $875
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
how is Maryam doing now?
thinking of you, Rahma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Hamilton.
Stay strong, Rahma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hamilton.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. God bless
