Titilayo received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

When the bakery closed in June, Titilayo fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Titilayo 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. 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $430 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 Glad we found this place. - Uche
