Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Obiageli's family in Wudil
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Obiageli needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Wudil.

When the warehouse closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $80
Thank you so much.
