Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Maryam's family in Jeddah
After a sudden layoff, Maryam is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $130
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,710
If you're reading this, thank you.

take care, Maryam. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Houston.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Syracuse so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Take care, Maryam. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Maryam. Hope you get there. God bless
