Keep a roof over Emeka's head in Kaduna
A sudden layoff left Emeka short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria808 views
When the bakery closed in January, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment 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 May, 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
