Keep a roof over Wangari's head in Entebbe
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Wangari needs $160 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Entebbe.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $160.
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 a teenager still in school 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 $160 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $5
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Entebbe
what's already covered and what's the $160 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. first month of rent as a buffer is the biggest at $110. It helps to be asked.
hope it all works out, Wangari. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Houston.
Praying for you, Wangari. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Yonkers.
