Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Masud's family in Dhaka

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Masud needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dhaka.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. 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 teenager still in school 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 $150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.

  1. Update from Dhaka: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
