After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I've 2 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Howard. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Lagos.
Sending love, Howard. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Howard. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Glasgow donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Ikeja
