Help Nimra keep her home - 3 months behind on rent

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Nimra needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lahore.

When the packaging plant closed in June, Nimra fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Nimra has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $260 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $115 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Eman

  1. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($161). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Lahore: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Small update. $20 so far, I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. - Eman
