Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Rima's wrongful-eviction defense
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Rima can't afford the lawyer.
🇸🇦 Makkah, Saudi Arabia855 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,250. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Jeddah Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Certified translations and document copies: $100
• Attorney retainer: $1,800
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Rima. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Pasig this morning. Love from Pasig.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jeddah!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about filing and biometrics fees, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Rima. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Cairo.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page.
