<div>Hello, my name is Miu and I’m asking for financial help after an unexpected and frightening situation involving my housing and my paycheck.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm an immigrant living in a company-provided house in Lisbon and rely entirely on my monthly paycheck to cover basic living expenses. Today, I was informed that €200-€500 will be deducted from my next paycheck because I’m being charged for a door lock they claim I broke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what actually happened:
</div>
<div>I never received the new keys to my apartment, despite asking for them at least 3 times. The only way I could access my own home was by pushing the door very hard to get inside. Now, I’m being accused of breaking the lock and held financially responsible for it.
</div>
<div>On top of this, I was told that “if they were me, they would start packing and look for another apartment.”
</div>
<div>This comment made it very clear that my housing situation is at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I live paycheck to paycheck, and I simply do not have €500 available. Losing that amount will directly affect my ability to:
</div>
<div>Pay for food
</div>
<div>Keep stable housing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m terrified of the real possibility of homelessness and hunger once this deduction goes through.
</div>
<div>Next month is already financially strained for me due to a previously planned trip abroad that I cannot cancel without losing everything I already paid. This deduction would push me past what I can survive on.
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for luxury or extras — I’m asking for help staying afloat during a moment that’s completely out of my control.
</div>
<div>Any contribution, even a small one, would mean more than I can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would help just as much.
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me feel less alone right now. &lt;3

Unexpected €500 Deduction Putting Me At Risk Of Homelessness

<div>Loved by many and widely recognised as a voice of his generation, 27-year-old Gboyega Odubanjo had received an Eric Gregory Award, New Poets’ Prize and the Michael Marks Award, and without doubt would have gone on to produce a lifetime of enduring work as one of poetry’s shining lights. An editor at Bad Betty Press and the poetry magazine Bath Magg, Gboyega gave support and mentorship to many developing artists; his contribution within the poetry community was invaluable, as was his friendship. Gboyega’s full-length debut collection of poetry, Adam, is forthcoming from Faber in Summer 2024. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family and friends of Gboyega Odubanjo are asking for the help of his community through community fundraising, the purpose of it is to support in his final arrangements and continue on his legacy. We are launching the Gboyega Odubanjo Foundation for low-income Black writers, with funds from this appeal also going towards the foundation. Gboyega always wanted to uplift and support his community, through mentoring young people, through gently praising someone at a poetry night about their star quality and through teaching in numerous places. His poetry and writing has been a beacon of light to many. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, the close friends and loved ones of Gboyega, express our profound sadness and grief at the loss of one of our brightest and most talented stars. Gboyega was the source of incredible joy and laughter for all of us, and we are utterly heartbroken to hear that his life has been so suddenly cut short. Over the past few days, we have been working tirelessly to ensure his name and image remained visible to members of the public across the UK. We would like to thank everyone who helped in the mission to bring Gboyega home safe; all those who shared the callout, sent in information, and went out searching. Your support has meant the world to us in this incredibly difficult time. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gboyega was inimitable. He will be remembered as a brilliant poet, inspiring friend, son and brother. He was incredibly talented; someone we will remain in awe of. He was a friend to everyone and anyone, so often befriending complete strangers. We will cherish his loud laughter, his sharp intellect and his love, all which will continue to keep warm the hearts of his friends, family and poetry community.
