Keep a roof over Mahmoud's head in Brescia
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Mahmoud needs $3,450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Brescia.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
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 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
I hope life is good to you.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Pittsburgh donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
keep going, Mahmoud. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mahmoud.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $2,500. Thanks, that means a lot.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Houston
shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Abuja.
