After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $300 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $205
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Salim. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Eldoret!
Praying for you, Salim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up!
