Keep a roof over Njoroge's head in Kasarani

After the loss of a second income, Njoroge is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Kasarani
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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. 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $280 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Njoroge

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Dallas donated after I showed her your page.
