Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Dua's family in Abbottabad
After the closure of the factory, Dua is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment 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 November, 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (4 months): $380
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Nijmegen this morning. Thinking of Abbottabad.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dua?
Thank you. If you're in Abbottabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I'll ask around and let you know.
sending strength, Dua. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Móstoles
any update on how things are going in Abbottabad?
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Take care, Dua. Your post was clear and honest.
rooting for you, Dua. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update.
Take care. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
you're not alone. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Stay strong, Dua. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
