When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $270
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you. God bless
hope it all works out, Juliet. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 23 people at work. Thinking of Kano.
Wishing you the best, Juliet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. All the best!
