Help Zaid keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Zaid is 5 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in December, Zaid fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,750.
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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Zaid has started working night deliveries, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $850

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Dwarka this morning. God bless.
