Keep a roof over Omar's head in Gazipur
A delayed insurance payout left Omar short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit 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 October, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Rent arrears (5 months): $290
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Omar. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you, Omar. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
