Keep a roof over Joseph's head in Fort Portal
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Joseph needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Fort Portal.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Late fees and court costs: $20
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Joseph
First month of rent as a buffer is $115 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Praying for you, Joseph. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Likoni this morning
