Keep a roof over Bello's head in Zaria

Zaria
After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. 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 have a teenager still in school 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Rent arrears (4 months): $350 • First month of rent as a buffer: $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
