When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Rent arrears (4 months): $360
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Belém.
thinking of you, Mussa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Thika.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thika.
Thank you. If you're in Thika I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Ikeja.
Sending love, Mussa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 39 people at work. Take care.
