Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Ifeoma's family in Abuja
A divorce left Ifeoma short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
• Rent arrears (2 months): $430
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Ifeoma
Thank you all. We're at 57% now ($340). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

Take care, Ifeoma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings
Best of luck, Ifeoma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
You're not alone, Ifeoma. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Ifeoma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kumasi
