Keep a roof over Musyoka's head in Likoni
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Musyoka needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Likoni.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, Musyoka fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Musyoka has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Rent arrears (5 months): $260
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Margaret. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Likoni.
