Keep a roof over Maliha's head in Dhaka
A long illness left Maliha short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh859 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit 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 November, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $300 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Rent arrears (3 months): $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
