Keep a roof over Athumani's head in Eldoret
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Athumani needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Eldoret.

When the hotel closed in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday 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 March, we must leave.
I've 2 children 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110

Hang in there, Athumani. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
thinking of you and your family, Athumani. I hope things turn around soon!
wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Eldoret.

praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Jalandhar.
