After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $480
• First month of rent as a buffer: $85
• Late fees and court costs: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lagos!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (3 months), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Sending strength, Vivian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Ogbomosho.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Lagos
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lagos. I'll ask around and let you know!
