Kingsley received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Kingsley needs $400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Zaria.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 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 $400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
• Rent arrears (2 months): $275
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Kingsley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
