Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Elizabeth's family in Accra

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Elizabeth needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Accra.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Elizabeth fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate 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 October, the family must leave. There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Elizabeth has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $420 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ama

      hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

          So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
