Keep a roof over Layla's head in Mecca
After a delayed insurance payout, Layla is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇸🇦 Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia955 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, Layla fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,900.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Layla has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $1,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,300
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Hana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Wishing you the best, Hana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
