When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $100 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Sani

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($95 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 50% now ($75). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

  3. Update from Ogbomosho: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
