After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
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 have a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $60
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Jayson. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
How is Jayson doing now?
Praying for you, Jayson. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Jayson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
