Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Araba's family in Accra
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Araba needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Accra.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 3 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 night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $580
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
With deep gratitude,
Araba

sending love, Araba. This could happen to any of us.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
