Help Saeed keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Saeed needs $700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Heliopolis.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Saeed fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $700.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Saeed 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $570
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Saeed.
thinking of you and your family, Hassan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Stay strong, Hassan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Cần Thơ.
wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
