Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Kingsley's family in Ogbomosho

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Kingsley fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Kingsley has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $35 • Rent arrears (3 months): $380 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ronke
