Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Sumbal's family in Karachi

A car accident left Sumbal short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the restaurant closed in February, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I've 3 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. 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 $400 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $270 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sumbal

Updates from Sumbal

  1. Quick update: $332 raised so far (83%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Karachi: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Sumbal
