Keep a roof over Kwadwo's head in Kumasi
After a cut in working hours, Kwadwo is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana134 views
Following a long illness in the family, Kwadwo fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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 June, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Kwadwo has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• Rent arrears (4 months): $430
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Stay strong, Efua. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Osaka.
thinking of you and your family, Efua. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Efua. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kumasi.
