After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $310
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $205
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Chebet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
you're not alone, Chebet. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care
thanks for sharing this, Chebet. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Cairns.
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Kasarani
Thinking of you, Chebet. Shared this with my family. Love from Accra.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Olinda.
Hang in there, Chebet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
