Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rina's family in Chattogram

A cut in working hours left Rina short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. 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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $380 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
