Help Duha keep her home - 5 months behind on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Duha needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Shubra.

Following a long illness in the family, Duha fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $250.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Duha has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thanks for sharing this, Khadija. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Take care.
You're not alone, Khadija. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Keep going, Khadija. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Best of luck, Khadija. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Keep going, Khadija. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nashik.
