After a car accident, Macharia is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
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've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $65
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $55

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
