Help Babatunde keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
A long illness left Babatunde short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Nigeria735 views
When the restaurant closed in February, Babatunde fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment 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 June, 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.
Babatunde has started working night deliveries, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $520
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Blessings.
