Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Rose's family in Dodoma
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Rose needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dodoma.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 $400 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
• Rent arrears (2 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Rose
Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dodoma
Thank you. If you're in Dodoma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out, Rose. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Aberdeen but we're thinking of you. Love from Aberdeen.
Hang in there, Rose. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Dodoma
