A notice to vacate arrived last week. Opio needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mukono.

When the textile factory closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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 $450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $60
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Opio
Update from Mukono: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
