When the textile factory closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• Rent arrears (3 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $50
With deep gratitude,
Waweru

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

Hope things get better soon, Waweru. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Naivasha.
