Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Lilian's family in Lagos

When my hours were cut in half in November, Lilian fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Lilian has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $410 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 Thanks for being kind about this. - Adaeze
