Keep a roof over Rahim's head in Bogra
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Rahim needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bogra.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 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 September, 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 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $280
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Rahim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 14 people at work. Greetings from Galway
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bogra.
