Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Bappy's family in Dhaka
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Bappy needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dhaka.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
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 (3 months): $240
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• Utilities in arrears: $10
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
With deep gratitude,
Bappy

Praying for you, Bappy. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Quezon City this morning. Blessings
Keep going. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Dhaka.
