Keep a roof over Kunle's head in Ikeja
The closure of the factory left Kunle short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $200 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Kunle. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Kunle. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Bowling Green this morning.
Take care, Kunle. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you the best, Kunle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Gliwice so I could bring a meal. All the best!
sending love, Kunle. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best
Hope it all works out, Kunle. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Stay strong, Kunle. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Keep going, Kunle. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Keep going, Kunle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care.
Stay strong, Kunle. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Eldoret!
