Keep a roof over Layla's head in Heliopolis
The closure of the factory left Layla short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇪🇬 Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt588 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $510
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
