Don't let Adewale's family go through winter without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Adewale needs $50 before March.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,981 views
The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $50. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Adewale's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $50 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $30
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $10
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out, Adewale. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending strength, Adewale. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

Take care, Adewale. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lagos.
