Keep a roof over Salim's head in Naivasha
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Salim needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Naivasha.

When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $750 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Rent arrears (3 months): $470
• First month of rent as a buffer: $215
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Salim
Small update. $290 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Naivasha: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hope things get better soon, Salim. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Naivasha.
Good luck, Salim. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Praying for you, Salim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
