Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Alamin's family in Dhaka

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Alamin needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dhaka.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Alamin fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Alamin has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $440 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Shakil
