Keep a roof over Puja's head in Dhaka

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $45
With deep gratitude,
Puja

Good luck, Puja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
