Keep a roof over Umar's head in Multan
After a cut in working hours, Umar is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in July, 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 October, 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 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 $300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Rent arrears (3 months): $230
• Utilities in arrears: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Umar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
hang in there, Umar. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 24 people at work
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
good luck, Umar. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Multan.

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing you peace, Umar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from San Jose.
