Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Hamza's family in Rawalpindi
A car accident left Hamza short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan770 views
After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 4 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
I hope life is good to you.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Rawalpindi.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hamza!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utilities in arrears is the biggest at $35. Good question.

Thanks for sharing this, Hamza. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
