Keep a roof over Okechukwu's head in Abuja
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Okechukwu needs $150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Abuja.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria986 views
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $150 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.
