*Legal Support to bring Sami back home*

This is not an easy message to share for me, as it reveals a part of my life that has plunged my family into an extreme struggle and tested us to the limit. I know many of you will want to understand the situation and learn more.

I ask you to contribute and share this fundraiser and give me the chance to help Sami get his life back and rebuild a dignified future for himself. 
Thank you all in advance!

Hi, my name is Angela.

For 29 years, I lived in the Middle East with my daughter and my former husband, Sami. I saw the life he built, the family he supported, and the man he was before the collapse of the company he worked for consumed everything around him.

This is not the story of a man who borrowed money and then refused to repay it. Sami did not borrow that money. He did not benefit from it. He was an employed manager of an LLC. When he resigned from his position as manager, the company had not yet accumulated the debts that are now being enforced against him.

However, after his resignation, his name was not removed from the company’s trade licence, and he was not replaced by the new person responsible for managing the company. When the company later accumulated debts, Sami’s name was still formally attached to its license. The others were no longer visible.

Sami was. 

And the consequences fell on him. In 2013, he was arrested in connection with the company’s liabilities and detained for several months. From 2014 onward, he faced case after case, eighteen in total, trying to prove that an employee should not be personally destroyed by the debts of the company he worked for. 
The legal battle lasted for years. 
So did the damage. 
Our family lived under constant pressure. Every new case brought more fear, more legal expenses, more uncertainty, and another part of normal life taken away.

We remained united for as long as we could, but no family passes through something like this unchanged. 
Sami kept fighting. He filed cases, challenged decisions, and repeatedly tried to prove that these were not personal debts and that he had neither received nor benefited from the money involved. Some matters were eventually resolved, but the consequences did not end.

Today, an old civil execution matter remains active, more than eleven years after this ordeal began. On paper, it is an execution file. 
In real life, it has become a cage.

Sami cannot travel. His banking access is frozen. He cannot renew his national Emirates ID. Without a valid identity document, he cannot work normally, generate an income, or properly access banking, medical care, insurance, housing, contracts, and essential services.

Almost every part of ordinary life has become difficult, restricted, or impossible. This is what that means in human terms. 
Bills remain unpaid. Services are interrupted. Groceries become difficult to afford. Housing becomes uncertain. 

A man who spent his life working and supporting his family is now forced to depend on occasional help from relatives who are ordinary people, with responsibilities and limited means of their own.

That dependence is not only financial. It breaks something inside a person.

Sami is alive, but he has been prevented from living normally. He cannot leave the country and return to his family. He cannot rebuild somewhere else. He cannot earn the money needed to resolve the very matter that prevents him from earning.

It is a closed circle.

A legal trap.

And it has lasted for more than eleven years.

This fundraiser is not asking strangers to pay for Sami’s wrongdoing. He did not personally take these company debts, he did not profit from them, and we are not asking anyone to protect him from the consequences of a dishonest act or a personal financial decision.

We are asking for help to end a situation that has already taken more than a decade of his life.

After previous contact through legal channels, there is now reason to believe that the remaining matter may be settled for a substantially reduced amount, estimated at approximately €80,000 to €85,000, rather than the far larger amounts originally claimed.

That settlement is now the only realistic way out.

The funds raised will be used to make a serious and documented settlement possible, cover the related legal and administrative costs, and allow the settlement to be submitted through the proper legal process so that the execution matter can be closed and the restrictions lifted. 

For years, Sami brought legal arguments but did not have the financial means to bring the matter to an end.

This fundraiser is intended to change that and restore what is left of a human being. 

I am managing the fundraiser from the Netherlands because Sami, while living under these restrictions in the UAE, cannot open or properly operate a fundraising campaign by himself.

The funds will be used directly for the documented settlement and the related legal process. I will share updates whenever meaningful steps are taken. One payment cannot erase eleven years of damage. It cannot! 

But it can open the door that has remained locked, and It can give Sami the possibility of closing the remaining case, recovering his legal documents and banking access, working again, traveling again, and returning to his loved ones who have waited for him for years.

He is not asking for a comfortable life. He is asking for the right to rebuild one. 

This fundraiser is meant to help a man end a legal burden created by the company he worked for, and prolonged by a system that placed procedure above context, fairness, and human consequences.

Please help me bring Sami home!
