Keep a roof over Chinedu's head in Gwagwalada
A car accident left Chinedu short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,076 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
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 night deliveries, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $550
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Chinedu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
