Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Taslima's family in Savar
The loss of a second income left Taslima short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 February, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 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 (4 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Taslima. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope it all works out, Taslima. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from San Diego

Sending strength, Taslima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Savar.

So sorry you're going through this, Taslima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nakhon Ratchasima this morning. Take care
