Keep a roof over Dalia's head in Cairo
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Dalia needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Cairo.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $500 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Rent arrears (2 months): $405
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Osaka

Take care, Dalia. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Luxor.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Naivasha.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dalia?
Sending strength, Dalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Cairo.
Sending good thoughts, Dalia. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Abbottabad.
