Help Chidi keep his home - 5 months behind on rent

When the hotel closed in August, Chidi fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Chidi 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $350 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Rent arrears (5 months): $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
