Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Runa's family in Gazipur
A cut in working hours left Runa short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
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 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 $300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Rent arrears (5 months): $220
• Utilities in arrears: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
