Help Adewale keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
The closure of the factory left Adewale short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,493 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Adewale fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Adewale has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Babatunde. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Bonny.
Take care, Babatunde. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mapo
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Bonny
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bonny.
Wishing you the best, Babatunde. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 30 people at work.
