Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Majid's family in Mansoura
After the closure of the factory, Majid is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Majid fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Majid has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
If you're reading this, thank you.
