Where is the friend’s home?

“Where is the friend’s home?” is an international acclaimed film by late Abbas Kiarostami, about quest to returning a friend’s notebook in a neighboring village by a young boy.

But what if friends don’t have a home at all. This is a reality of three of children we are supporting are facing, and all are in need your help to have a safe place to live, immediately.

Case 1:

Nastaran is a very talented 9th grade student whose parents divorced because of their father’s irresponsibility. Mother who as the full custody of Nastaran and her sister had previously worked as someone’s house that provided family’s daily need and rent. But a few months ago, Nastaran’s sister was kidnapped by several young men and beaten injured and..! She now suffered from mental and psychological instabilities and mother had to stay home with her for constant care. Since mother was unemployed and could not pay for the rent, landlord start taking their deposit as rent and when it dried up, is forcing them evacuate.

Case 2:

Ghazal is one of student supported by Child Foundation in Ahvaz who used to live with mother and brother and sisters in a small rental room. Her mother separated from his drug addicted father who he made no financial contribution to the family.
Mother used to work in people’s house, but she became ill by Cirrhosis, a liver disease which hospitalized her and eventually lose her work. Since she couldn’t make the rent payment, the landlord started to take her deposit as her payment and when it finished, they were forced to evacuate. A kind family let them live in a half-built house on the edge of the city which doesn’t have anything. It is very uncomfortable for children and even safely could be an issue.

Case 3:

Our social worker in her recent home visit of Zahra who lives alone with her mother in a small place, noticed that the family feel very uncomfortable with their landlord who constantly harass them and make inappropriate suggestions to them.
Our social worker had suggested to move them immediately to a new safer place otherwise it will affect the future of Zahra.

To solve these three cases, we need your help. We need at least $5,500 to find appropriate housing for these three girls and their family. Please donate generously to our Housing fund here.

An additional fund we collect will go toward other similar cases.
