Kwame received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The closure of the factory left Kwame short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana1,555 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 3 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 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 $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $310
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• Late fees and court costs: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kwame?
Thank you. If you're in Accra I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Los Angeles.
You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Accra.
Praying for you, Kwame. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning.
Hope things get better soon, Kwame. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. God bless.
