Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ngozi's family in Lagos
A termination letter arrived last week. Ngozi needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lagos.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $350 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
• Rent arrears (3 months): $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Palermo so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Ngozi. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Adama.
Best of luck, Ngozi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Agra so I could bring a meal
wishing you the best, Ngozi. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Contagem.
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Lagos
Keep going. Shared this with my family. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Lagos.
Hope things get better soon, Ngozi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Good luck, Ngozi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
sending good thoughts, Ngozi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care!
