Help Zubby keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
After the closure of the factory, Zubby is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in June, Zubby fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate 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 September, 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.
Zubby 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Asaba.
Rooting for you, Jide. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Asaba.
Thinking of you and your family, Jide. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
