Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Aisha's family in Bonny

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I've 4 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 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 $550 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $20 • Rent arrears (4 months): $420 • First month of rent as a buffer: $110 With deep gratitude, Aisha
