Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

Alhamdulillah we have a Chinese exchange student that accepted Islam a few months ago. She's having a few problems with her current host family (the problems are not related to Islam Alhamdulillah) so she needs to move out at the beginning of October.

Would any of your families be willing to host her?
Or do you know of any families that would?

She's willing to pay, and the only things shes looking for are:
1. The family can drive her to and from saddleback college. Insha Allah she will get her own car in a few months, but until then she needs transportation.  
2. They will make breakfast and dinner
3. The family will treat her as part of the family (so not a family that's just looking for the extra cash for providing her a place to stay)

Masha Allah she's a very good girl, she's kind of quiet, very polite, loves Islam and is trying to gain knowledge.

Please pass this on to anyone that you know!

Plus! You could get the Baraka for helping her find a host family! And if she stays with a Muslim family, they would get the Baraka for teaching her anything islamic!  Anything good that she does, the family would get rewarded for it!  Please please pass this on :)

Barak Allahu fikum!

Wa Alaikum Assalam!

Assalamu alaikum Sr. Diana.

Does she want to be enrolled in the Mentor program?  Or, are you her mentor?  As for housing, what kind of assistance she needs.  Why does she needs to leave the current host?  Does she need assistance from mosque?  

Salam,
Michelle

Wa 'alaikum assalam!

I am mentoring her right now.  I got some material from IIOC, including the New Muslim's guide.
Alhamdulillah she's doing well, and the problems that she's having with her current host family aren't related
to Islam.  They're just refusing to continue to do certain things that they agreed to.  And they're just not being 100% welcoming.

So she's looking for a new host family.  A family that would treat her as part of the family, and be able to take her to and from school (she doesn't drive but insha Allah in a few months she will and will get a car, insha Allah!).

She's willing to pay $800-$1,000 per month.  Alhamdulillah her family is supporting her, financially, so she's not having a problem with that.  She just needs help looking for a host family.  And she needs to move out before Oct. 12, the sooner the better. 

Do you know of any families that would be interested? 

Barak Allahu Fikum!
wa 'alaikum assalam!

Aslam-o-Alikum Sister Diana, I am spreading the word with social committee of ICOI and see if someone can help this sister. I will also request whoever would like to help keep sister Diana in loop as she is mentoring her and may be able to help making decision.

Wa Alaikum Assalam!

Thank you so much!
And please let whoever know that she's looking to pay $800-$1000 per month. 
And the sooner she can move the better :)

And what do you mean about keeping me in the loop and making decisions? 
In the loop about what, and decisions on what? 

Jazakum Allahu khayran!!

Wsalam Sister Diana, I will pass that info. In term of helping her with her decission, I meant to say what if there multiple options and she might need help or guide. Since she is new to Islam and not sure how much she knew already about islam but I do not think it would be a good idea for her to stay with any family.
 
wsalam
Umer

Assalamu Alaikum!

I mentioned this earlier, but just to make it clear, the sister is planning on paying. So that's not an issue Alhamdulillah. She's hoping to pay $800-$1000 per month.

Again thank you everyone that is helping!
Jazakum Allahu khayran!

Wa Alaikum Assalam!

I'm not sure if this was sent earlier, so if it was please ignore it. 

I'm mentoring her right now. I got the book and other materials from IIoc's mentor program. 

The only assistance she needs is looking for a host family. She's just having a few logistical problems.
