Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Sabina's family in Chattogram

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Sabina needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Chattogram.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment 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 October, 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 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 $450 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $30 • Rent arrears (2 months): $380 • Late fees and court costs: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Sending love, Sabina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

        it takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Tema.
