Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Nyambura's family in Gulu
After the loss of a second income, Nyambura is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇺🇬 Gulu, Northern Region, Uganda1,200 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Nyambura. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
