Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Segun's family in Kano

A divorce left Segun short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Segun fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. 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 a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Segun has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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: • Rent arrears (5 months): $390 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 I hope life is good to you. - Adaeze

      You're not alone. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

          Hope things get better soon, Adaeze. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kano
