After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter 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 August, 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 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. 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: โ€ข Rent arrears (2 months): $290 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $110 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Sabbir

Updates from Sabbir

  1. Thank you all. We're at 64% now ($290). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Update from Dhaka: we've started the first stage. We're at 53% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Sabbir

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($200 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
