Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Nazrul's family in Narayanganj
A sudden layoff left Nazrul short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $220
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Nazrul
Good news. Because of your gifts ($255 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $155 so far, the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.
Quick update: $95 raised so far (27%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Best of luck, Nazrul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Narayanganj
