Hamza received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Hamza needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Marrakesh.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Hamza fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $750. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Hamza has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $750 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Thank you so much.

Updates from Reem

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Marrakesh: I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($90). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

          Thank you. If you're in Marrakesh I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

          Thinking of you and your family, Reem. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
