Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Bolaji's family in Epe
After a divorce, Bolaji is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $80
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Hubballi.
Sending love, Bolaji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Epe.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Epe.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Leicester.
Best of luck, Bolaji. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
