Keep a roof over Kipchoge's head in Naivasha
A termination letter arrived last week. Kipchoge needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Naivasha.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

you're not alone, Kipchoge. Hope you get there
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 12 people at work. Love from Nagpur!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 34 people at work. God bless.
