Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Waseem's family in Gujranwala

When the bakery closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $350 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 • Utilities in arrears: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
