Keep a roof over Amaka's head in Lagos
After the closure of the factory, Amaka is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 3 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $400 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Rent arrears (4 months): $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you and your family, Amaka. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 27 people at work. Love from Cologne
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Quetta this morning. Greetings from Quetta
Sending love, Amaka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Good luck, Amaka. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Aberdeen but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Amaka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
