Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Kiprop's family in Kasarani
A car accident left Kiprop short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
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 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 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 $700 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
• Rent arrears (5 months): $525
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
