Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rahim's family in Savar
A car accident left Rahim short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh629 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit 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 August, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Thank you so much.

How is Rahim doing now?
good luck, Rahim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too

Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Paris donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rahim?
Thank you. If you're in Savar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Rooting for you, Rahim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

So sorry you're going through this, Rahim. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dammam.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Love from Surakarta
