Keep a roof over Lucky's head in Nnewi
A termination letter arrived last week. Lucky needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Nnewi.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria696 views
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $60
Glad we found this place.

wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you the best, Lucky. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Best of luck, Lucky. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nnewi
Thanks for sharing this, Lucky. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning
Thinking of you and your family, Lucky. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Lucky. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
