Keep a roof over Tariq's head in Cairo
After a cut in working hours, Tariq is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday 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 March, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Jaipur this morning.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Thinking of you, Tariq. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Gliwice donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Quetta this morning.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Orlando
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Johannesburg.

Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
