Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Hadi's family in Cairo
A sudden layoff left Hadi short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
Anywhere in the world603 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $700 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
• Rent arrears (5 months): $530
• Late fees and court costs: $30

Good news. Because of your gifts ($201 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $101 raised so far (14%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $86 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
