When my hours were cut in half in July, Rakib fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $400. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Rakib has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Rent arrears (3 months): $260 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Dhaka.
