Keep a roof over Halima's head in Wudil
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Halima needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Wudil.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria1,042 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $440
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
With deep gratitude,
Halima

Thinking of you, Halima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from San Jose.
good luck, Halima. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
