Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Dayo's family in Badagry
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Dayo needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Badagry.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
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 $350 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Rent arrears (5 months): $265
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
