Keep a roof over Souad's head in Cairo
A divorce left Souad short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt773 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Souad fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Souad has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $580
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $40

Best of luck. Hope you get there. Thinking of Cairo.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Souad!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $580. Good question.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
good luck, Rima. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Cairo.
Hope it all works out, Rima. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Dublin
