Mbarara
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment 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 January, we must leave. I've 1 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 $300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $230 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • Late fees and court costs: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Macharia

  • Hang in there, Macharia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.

    • Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Augusta donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mbarara.

      • Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
