Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Mohammed's family in Heliopolis
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Mohammed needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Heliopolis.

When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Mohammed. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Lafayette this morning
