Keep a roof over Victor's head in Dodoma
A car accident left Victor short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania211 views
After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Victor fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $155.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Victor 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.
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 $155 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $5
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Byaruhanga. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
You're not alone, Byaruhanga. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Byaruhanga. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Byaruhanga. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Ogbomosho this morning
Hope things get better soon, Byaruhanga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Chicago.
