Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mukasa's family in Entebbe

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Mukasa needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Entebbe.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 night deliveries, 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 $500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $400 • First month of rent as a buffer: $85 • Late fees and court costs: $15 If you're reading this, thank you. - Mukasa

    this could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
