Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Francis's family in Accra

Following a long illness in the family, Francis fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Francis has started working weekend shifts, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $500 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $320 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
