Help Taslima keep her home - 4 months behind on rent

A termination letter arrived last week. Taslima needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Savar.

Savar
After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Taslima fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter 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 August, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Taslima 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $370 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
