Taslima received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Taslima short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $310
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Khulna.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (5 months), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Hope it all works out, Taslima. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Khulna.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Puebla.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Taslima.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (5 months) comes first ($310) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Taslima. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
keep going, Taslima. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from New Delhi.
wishing you peace, Taslima. Hope this works out for you.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
