Keep a roof over Beatrice's head in Mombasa

A divorce left Beatrice short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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. 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 $250 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • Late fees and court costs: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Best of luck, Beatrice. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Asaba.

      Hope you get there. We're a small family in El Paso but we're thinking of you.

        A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kingston.

          Hope it all works out, Beatrice. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
