Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Faisal's family in Riyadh
A cut in working hours left Faisal short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $900 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $710
• Utilities in arrears: $120
• Late fees and court costs: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Faisal. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kazan.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Springfield.
