Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Humaira's family in Islamabad

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Humaira needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Islamabad.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $500 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $340 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 If you're reading this, thank you. - Humaira
