Keep a roof over Khalid's head in Mardan
After the loss of a second income, Khalid is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇰 Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan915 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $210
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
I hope life is good to you.

sending strength, Khalid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mardan
Thank you. If you're in Mardan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Boulogne-Billancourt donated after I showed her your page.
Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Khalid. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 27 people at work. Take care.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Peshawar.
Hope it all works out, Khalid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
You're not alone, Khalid. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
