Keep a roof over Efua's head in Kumasi
A long illness left Efua short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana1,483 views
After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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'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 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $440
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Efua. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Pune.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Efua?
Thank you. If you're in Kumasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Best of luck, Efua. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Any update on how things are going in Kumasi?
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Saint-Denis donated after I showed her your page. God bless
You're not alone, Efua. Hope you get there.
So sorry you're going through this, Efua. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Salem this morning. Blessings.
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Johannesburg.
