Keep a roof over Esi's head in Obuasi
A delayed insurance payout left Esi short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇭 Obuasi, Ashanti, Ghana902 views
When the restaurant closed in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter 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 March, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
With deep gratitude,
Esi

How is Esi doing now?
hang in there, Esi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
