Busaba received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Busaba needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bang Khen.

When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $950 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240
• Rent arrears (4 months): $670
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Busaba
Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Busaba

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Busaba!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utilities in arrears is the biggest at $40. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck, Busaba. Shared this with my family.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Sending good thoughts, Busaba. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Embakasi
