Keep a roof over Duha's head in Casablanca
A sudden layoff left Duha short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Duha
Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

sending love, Duha. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Duha. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Hope things get better soon, Duha. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Wiesbaden this morning.
Thinking of you and your family, Duha. Hope you get there. Don't give up
