Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Osama's family in Jeddah

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave. I've 4 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,200 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • Utilities in arrears: $150 • First month of rent as a buffer: $710 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Osama

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,662 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you, Osama. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Jeddah.

    • Ishita P. Arora

      Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

      • Princess G. Tomas
