Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Musa's family in Enugu
After a divorce, Musa is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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'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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $40
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Musa. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bacolod
Thanks for sharing this, Musa. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Sakai donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Quetta but we're thinking of you.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Gazipur.
Thanks for sharing this, Musa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Keep going, Musa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
You're not alone, Musa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Good luck, Musa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Jessore
