Keep a roof over Collins's head in Embakasi
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Collins needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Embakasi.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Collins fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Collins has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $190
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
