Help Black Lesbian Couple Scammed of their Rent

Donation protected

K and her girlfriend saved for nearly a year to move to Lagos and rent a place, so they could pursue professional growth and get better opportunities. They found a place and were asked to pay their rent, so it could be used to complete renovations, before they could move in.

They had seen the place multiple times and confirmed it need renovations plus this was the arrangement for others looking to rent the place. The building manager renting the place had not given them any reason to be suspicious. After they paid, they discovered a few weeks later that the building manager had been fraudulent about the terms and disappeared with about 200 people's rent payments, including theirs.

They were devastated because that was about a year's worth of savings and had taken a lot of effort and sacrifice from them, just so they could relocate and find better opportunities. They've reported the matter to the Police and the Lagos State Government but the authorities have said that it will take over a year to get the money back.

In the meantime, they are homeless and without money to rent another place. It's been a very torrid period for them emotionally and mentally, and their plans for professional growth have been cut short.

They need our help.

Please donate whatever you can — $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 — and share and repost as much as possible so others can donate as well.

No one deserves to be homeless, no one deserves to be defrauded of all of their savings, and no one deserves to be homeless because they were defrauded.

Let's help this couple find a new place and get their life back on track. All and any donations will go a long way towards making this happen.

Thank you all for your support! We appreciate you.
