Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mazen's family in Mecca
After the closure of the factory, Mazen is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $2,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650
• First month of rent as a buffer: $430
• Utilities in arrears: $220
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Mazen. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
