Laiba received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Laiba needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lahore.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
