Keep a roof over Kwesi's head in Madina
After a sudden layoff, Kwesi is 4 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇬🇭 Madina, Greater Accra, Ghana627 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
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've 2 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kwesi
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $470. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, Kwesi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 25 people at work.
Thinking of you and your family, Kwesi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
