No, the pictures above aren't of an abandoned house, they're pictures taken inside the apartment in which Chefi and Aisha live in. Chefi, a muslim single father and widower since December 2016 (more information here), rented this place for 450€ a month since it was the cheapest deal he could get....
As a lot of you already know thanks to this post, Aisha and Chefi are a muslim family with absolutely no funds since Aida, Chefi’s wife, passed away in December and he succumbed to depression and anxiety.
Now, after their place has become a threat to Aisha’s health and the houseowner has warned Chefi about kicking him out if he doesn’t leave by June, as he can’t pay rent, we’ve found the perfect place for them to live in.
Sadly, we can’t afford it. Read the full article to see more pictures of their heartbreaking situation and of the home they’ve set their eyes on. The differences will shock you.

Since we’re having the hardest time reaching our goal to move the baby and her father out of the awful place they live in before they get evicted in the first place, I felt like an update would help us get even the tiniest of boosts. But, apart from that obvious problem, issues that we thought that were over are returning to haunt us.
In this post, which was the beginning of it all, I mentioned the many hardships that we had feeding, healing and comforting Chefi and Aisha after their late wife and mother passed away. Today, they’re in the same situation.
This family can’t afford groceries, still getting non-perishable goods from the Red Cross and little to none fresh food. Their medicines are limited, including the baby’s extremely expensive inhalers, Chefi’s antidepressants which basically keep him alive and, last but not least… The baby’s oxygen tank.
Back in the day purchased by a generous donator, it’s already running low. And with the awfully hot temperatures and allergens in the spring air, the baby truly needs a new one to keep her acute asthma in place. The total of the tank ascends to 1275€, the same price of the first tank we obtained. The inhalers, antidepressants and such are a bit over 350€.
And as much as their safety plus physical and mental health alarm me, their nutrition, sadly, goes first. The baby’s nutrition, mostly. Her supplies are out of our league, so please feel free to check out this list of items that she desperatedly needs, including baby formula, regular baby food and, sadly, diapers too. She’s just 5 months old so the items she needs remain the same.
TLDR; although moving this family out of their dangerous home is our main goal, the baby needs a new oxygen tank, new inhalers, regular supplies such as diapers and food and, if possible, some clothes for this summer since she owns absolutely none.

I’m so disheartened that I don’t even know how to start this post, so I’ll just answer some questions I’ve received in 2017. Which, unsurprisingly, wasn’t a good year.
Q: Did Chefi and Aisha get evicted?
A: Yes they did.
Q: Did Aisha get her meds for a cheaper price, finally?
A: Yes she did. Relatively, but she did.
Q: Did they find a place to stay?
A: Against all odds, yes. It’s an unofficial shelter.
Q: Is it a safe place?
A: No, I’d be lying through my fucking teeth if I said it was. In fact, Chefi was attacked by one of the persons staying there too. Why? Because of his religion.
Q: Are you still stubborn about getting them both a decent place to live in?
A: Of course. Everyone deserves a roof and four walls at least.
If curiosity is truly killing you, feel free to check our YouCaring campaign, it’s still the same, a few updates here and there. We’ve been receiving very little donations from the same 4 people since this blog first got suspended by Tumblr during July 2017. Chefi and Aisha are getting by, but the moment we stop receiving those very little donations, the thread they’re hanging by will snap.
Q: How can I help?
A: You can donate via the YouCaring campaign itself (although that way PayPal is taking part of your money that will not get to us) or via [email protected], always choosing PayPal’s friends and family option in order to, once again, not see your donation go to waste. Thank you.
