Keep a roof over Maëlle's head in Fez
A delayed insurance payout left Maëlle short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇲🇦 Fez, Fès-Meknès, Morocco1,748 views
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 $650.
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've 3 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $380
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Girona.
Sending love, Maëlle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
hope things get better soon, Maëlle. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care
Sending strength, Maëlle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Rome.
