After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Ssebuliba fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Ssebuliba has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Akello. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Rome this morning. God bless
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
