Keep a roof over Tunde's head in Ibadan

After a divorce, Tunde is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday 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 February, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $500 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $35 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Rent arrears (3 months): $420 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope it all works out, Tunde. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
