Keep a roof over Brian's head in Machakos

Machakos
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $700 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 • Rent arrears (3 months): $510 • Late fees and court costs: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Brian

    Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Machakos.

      Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Ahmedabad

        Hang in there, Brian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
