After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Rashidi. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Mwanza
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rashidi?
Thank you. If you're in Mwanza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope things get better soon, Rashidi. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
sending good thoughts, Rashidi. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 7 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Mwanza. I'll ask around and let you know
Take care, Rashidi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Rashidi. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mwanza.
Thinking of you and your family, Rashidi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Arusha but we're thinking of you. Take care.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
