Keep a roof over Naliaka's head in Embakasi
A car accident left Naliaka short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Rent arrears (2 months): $390
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Embakasi
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about first month of rent as a buffer, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Naliaka. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Quezon City
how is Naliaka doing now?
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Naliaka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hang in there, Naliaka. Hope you get there. Greetings from Reading
