Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Gloria's family in Accra
After a delayed insurance payout, Gloria is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana1,735 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $180
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Gloria
Good news. Because of your gifts ($140 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.

I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 29 people at work. Greetings from Los Angeles!
Keep going, Gloria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Üsküdar.
Praying for you, Gloria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
