Keep a roof over Zahra's head in Shubra
After the loss of a second income, Zahra is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the hotel closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 3 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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Rent arrears (4 months): $225
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Tallahassee.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Shubra
