When the textile factory closed in March, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit 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 June, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $420
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Mugisha. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Kasarani.
