Keep a roof over Tabitha's head in Kasarani
A divorce left Tabitha short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya319 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $600 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Rent arrears (4 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Tabitha. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Tabitha. Your post was clear and honest
shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from New Delhi.
