Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Kehinde's family in Lagos
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Kehinde needs $200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lagos.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
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 three school-aged 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.
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 $200 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Bang Khen but we're thinking of you. God bless
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 15 people at work. Thinking of Lagos.
Sending good thoughts, Kehinde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
