Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jide's family in Kaduna
After a long illness, Jide is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria2,168 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $530
• Late fees and court costs: $15
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $75
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Jide
Thank you all. We're at 62% now ($405). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($330 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Toulouse donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kaduna.
Rooting for you, Jide. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
You're not alone, Jide. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Narayanganj.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
