Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Uchenna's family in Epe
A termination letter arrived last week. Uchenna needs $200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Epe.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter 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 May, 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Uchenna. I hope things turn around soon
hope it all works out, Uchenna. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Best of luck, Uchenna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Syracuse donated after I showed her your page.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Greetings from San Jose
Take care, Uchenna. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Love from Nuremberg
