Keep a roof over Jamal's head in Zagazig
After a delayed insurance payout, Jamal is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇪🇬 Zagazig, Sharqia, Egypt660 views
When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 two young 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 weekend shifts, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $280
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Jamal. This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from São Paulo.
