Keep a roof over Danjuma's head in Badagry
A long illness left Danjuma short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,300 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
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 three school-aged 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
Thanks for being kind about this.

How is Danjuma doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Danjuma. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you.
So sorry you're going through this, Danjuma. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
