Keep a roof over Ifeoma's head in Epe
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Ifeoma needs $650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Epe.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria798 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
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 have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $450
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you the best, Ifeoma. I hope things turn around soon. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
