After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice 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've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 (2 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Tadesse. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Shubra.
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Embakasi
Hope you get there. Greetings from Kingston
