Keep a roof over Uchenna's head in Port Harcourt
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Uchenna needs $700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Port Harcourt.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $700 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Rent arrears (5 months): $525
Thank you for reading my story.
