A final eviction notice arrived last week. Jide needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lagos.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $600 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Rent arrears (3 months): $540
• Late fees and court costs: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
