Keep a roof over Femi's head in Epe
A long illness left Femi short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Nigeria815 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Femi fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Femi has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165

keep going, Efe. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Epe
Wishing you peace, Efe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Osaka.
Wishing you the best, Efe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Kazan but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
