Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ghada's family in Riyadh

After a sudden layoff, Ghada is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Ghada fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,100. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Ghada has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,350 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $510 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Khulna so I could bring a meal.
