Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Chidi's family in Epe
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Chidi needs $305 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Epe.

When the packaging plant closed in July, Chidi fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $305.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Chidi has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $305 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Epe
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
what's already covered and what's the $305 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (2 months) comes first ($250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Haifa so I could bring a meal.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
