Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $430
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $80
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Kamal. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cairo!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (2 months), advice is welcome too. Good question.
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal.
praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kamal!
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (2 months), $430. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Kamal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Cairo.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cairo
shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Varanasi.
