Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do—asking for help. But right now, I have no other choice. I’m reaching out because I’m struggling, and I don’t know where else to turn.

I’ve been doing everything I can to save up for a small house in Morocco, something simple but safe, where my mother and I can finally have a place to call home. Houses here cost between $15,000 and $20,000, and I’ve managed to save $1,000 so far. But finding work has been incredibly difficult, and no matter how hard I try, the goal feels impossibly far away.

Right now, I have no home. I wake up every day with uncertainty, trying to figure out my next step, wondering how much longer I can hold on. But more than anything, I want to do this for my mother. She’s sacrificed so much for me, and all I want is to give her a place where she feels safe, where she can rest without worry. I just want to see her smile again, to give her the peace she deserves.

I’m not a criminal. I’m not a drug addict. I’m not someone looking for an easy way out. I have a bachelor’s degree. I’ve worked hard. I just hit a wall, and no matter how much I push, I can’t seem to break through.

If you can help, even just a little, it would mean more than I can ever express. Even sharing this would be a huge help. Every bit of kindness brings me one step closer to a home, to stability, to a life where my mother and I don’t have to keep struggling.

I don’t want luxury. I don’t want anything extravagant. I just want a roof over our heads, a door that we can close at night knowing we’re safe, and the chance to breathe again.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Thank you for your time, your kindness, and for even considering helping. May life always be kind to you, and may you always have a place to call home.

With all my heart,
