Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Nabirye's family in Gulu

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Nabirye needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gulu.

When the warehouse closed in March, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit 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 June, we must leave. I've 3 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $450 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $280 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 With deep gratitude, Nabirye

    Sending strength, Nabirye. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from New Delhi.

      Best of luck, Nabirye. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
