Tumusiime received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A delayed insurance payout left Tumusiime short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇹🇿 Mwanza, Tanzania1,166 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Tumusiime fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $200.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Tumusiime has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $70
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mwanza.
wishing you peace, Ouma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
