Keep a roof over Lipi's head in Savar
The closure of the factory left Lipi short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh273 views
When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $300 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $200
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Lipi. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Savar.
hang in there, Lipi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
