Keep a roof over Ngozi's head in Benin City

A termination letter arrived last week. Ngozi needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Benin City.

When the warehouse closed in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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. 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 $500 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 • Rent arrears (3 months): $330 • Utilities in arrears: $20 Thank you for reading my story.
