Nneka received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After the loss of a second income, Nneka is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the construction firm closed in January, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate 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 May, 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 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.

rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Pasig.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Seoul so I could bring a meal.
how is Nneka doing now?
sending love, Nneka. I hope things turn around soon.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
Good luck, Nneka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
