Keep a roof over Wafa's head in 6th of October City
A sudden layoff left Wafa short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $560
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Wafa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you and your family, Wafa. Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Best of luck, Wafa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Bowling Green this morning. Thinking of 6th of October City.
