Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Grace's family in Ikeja
After a sudden layoff, Grace is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice 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 July, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
• Utilities in arrears: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Love from Juazeiro do Norte.
Good luck, Grace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Hang in there, Grace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Tel Aviv but we're thinking of you. Take care.
