Keep a roof over Hatem's head in Riyadh
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Hatem needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Riyadh.

When the warehouse closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $750 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
• Utilities in arrears: $50
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Hatem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Glasgow!
