Funmilayo received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Funmilayo short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in November, Funmilayo fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $450.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Funmilayo 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Funmilayo.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (5 months) comes first ($300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
hope things get better soon, Ifeanyi. Shared this with my family. Greetings from San Diego.
praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Abuja.
