Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Malak's family in Mansoura
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Malak needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mansoura.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit 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 August, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Malak. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mansoura.
Hope things get better soon, Malak. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Rooting for you, Malak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope it all works out, Malak. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Malak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.

Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Malak. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care, Malak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
