Help Robert and family return to the USA

My name is Alex Tobing and I meet Robert in Alexandria Egypt in 2012 while my family and I had the opportunity to spend some time traveling. Robert is from Baltimore, Maryland and was teaching English as a second language when I met him. Robert eventually got a job teaching English as a second language in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

While living in Saudi Arabia, he met his wife and now has three beautiful children. He was living his dream; a father and husband, a teacher at a university and established and settled as an American, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Then there was COVID-19 in 2020. Not knowing that this would change the world dynamics, his job was on hold. 18 months later, Robert is returning to the USA with his family. Not working for a year and half, sold his possessions and used up all his savings to survive and get his immigration documents in order.. Robert and family were ready to leave and were reminded that "foreigners" living in Saudi Arabia must pay a dependency fee every year. The deportation center requires all dependency fees to be paid in order to get an exit visa. Robert spoke to the US embassy, the Ministry of Labor and his previous employer and was not able to relieve him of this dependency fee. He explained that he had no money and he was of the miskeen (poor). The calculations is 7,450 SAR per child x3 which equals to 22,350 SAR converted to $5,958.45 USD. We have 3 weeks to attain this financial goal.

I have been in communication with Robert since we meet. He reached out to me last week and asked if I was able to help contribute to his situation. I couldn't, not by self and now I am reaching out to you, using this platform, GOFUNDME.

I am asking you to help a family get back to the USA. He has already lined up a place to stay and a job when he returns. Please help and donate as much as possible. Thank you for your generosity. Alex.
