Keep a roof over Lipi's head in Dhaka
A car accident left Lipi short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm 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): $240
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Glad we found this place.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 16 people at work!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Dhaka
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Heliopolis
You're not alone, Lipi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best, Lipi. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
