Keep a roof over Abosede's head in Benin City
A sudden layoff left Abosede short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,022 views
When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 two young children 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 $200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Abosede
We're at 24% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
