Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Kofi's family in Tamale

After a sudden layoff, Kofi is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the bakery closed in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. 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 have three school-aged 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 $450 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Rent arrears (2 months): $330 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 Thank you for reading my story.
