Kunle received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

After a long illness, Kunle is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter 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 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 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 $150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 • Utilities in arrears: $10 Every share and every dollar helps.
