Keep a roof over Omondi's head in Mombasa

When the hotel closed in July, Omondi fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $250. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Omondi has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $250 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 Thanks for being kind about this. - Achieng
