Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Amna's family in Lahore
A termination letter arrived last week. Amna needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lahore.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter 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 October, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Thanks for reading all this.
