Keep a roof over Jonathan's head in Tema
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Jonathan needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Tema.

When my hours were cut in half in June, Jonathan fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Jonathan 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 $600 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Rent arrears (3 months): $550
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
