Help Yinka keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
A sudden layoff left Yinka short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Nigeria777 views
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, Yinka fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
Yinka 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Zaria.
Sending love, Lanre. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
