Keep a roof over Khadija's head in Abuja

A termination letter arrived last week. Khadija needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Abuja.

When the textile factory closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $150 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $35 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $85 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Khadija

        Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Geelong this morning. Take care.
