Keep a roof over Namukasa's head in Kakamega
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Namukasa needs $850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kakamega.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 2 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $580
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $185
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you, Namukasa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kakamega.
stay strong, Namukasa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better!
You're not alone, Namukasa. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
