Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Humaira's family in Abbottabad
The closure of the factory left Humaira short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan206 views
After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 March, 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 (2 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Pelotas
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Spanish Town.
