Help Desire's family pay for their Nigerian home.
Donation protected
Hi. My name is Desire, and I am a Washington and Lee University sophomore. I moved to the US in August 2021 for better education, leaving behind my mom, family, friends, and a home I have lived in since I was born. My family and I have lived in that house on a rental for years, so the landlord decided to sell the property to us so we could own it permanently. The sale cost is approximately 15 million naira (about $22,000), but my mom has raised a decent amount through cooperative loans and contributions. However, despite our best efforts, we still have a deficit of about $4000 which we need to offset. We have been given a deadline of December 25th to pay for the house; failure to do so would mean that the house would be sold to whoever meets the price. I have always dreaded living homeless when I return to Nigeria; therefore, I am soliciting your assistance to help us pay for our home before Christmas. It might be virtually impossible to start afresh somewhere else, considering all we would lose if the house eventually gets sold to someone else. Any amount would be greatly appreciated, and we would be indebted in gratitude to everyone who assists our cause.
