Keep a roof over Lamia's head in Chattogram
After the loss of a second income, Lamia is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the call centre closed in November, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 3 children 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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Lamia. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Love from Phuket.
