Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Samira's family in Zagazig
After a sudden layoff, Samira is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the warehouse closed in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Zagazig.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Taguig but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Take care, Samira. This could happen to any of us
Thinking of you and your family, Samira. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Best of luck, Samira. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Envigado
