Keep a roof over Nonso's head in Kaduna
A cut in working hours left Nonso short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria1,113 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 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 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($313 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
