Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mathilde's family in Rabat

A divorce left Mathilde short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Rabat
When my hours were cut in half in September, Mathilde fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $800. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Mathilde has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $800 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $450 • Late fees and court costs: $80 • Utilities in arrears: $75 • First month of rent as a buffer: $195 With deep gratitude, Yves

Updates from Yves

  1. Update from Rabat: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 78% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($493 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($336 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
