Keep a roof over Jamal's head in Riyadh
The closure of the factory left Jamal short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice 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 November, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $480
• Utilities in arrears: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope it all works out, Jamal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Newport.
Hope it all works out, Jamal. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Aurora so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
