A termination letter arrived last week. Yaa needs $350 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kumasi.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter 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 June, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $290
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Late fees and court costs: $10
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kumasi!
Thank you. If you're in Kumasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
You're not alone, Yaa. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Ribeirão Preto this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Yaa. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kilkenny.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Kumasi.
Keep going, Yaa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
how is Yaa doing now?
Thinking of you, Yaa. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in București this morning. All the best
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yaa.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jessore.
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Yaa. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Pokhara
Wishing you peace, Yaa. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
