Don't let Chiamaka's family go through winter without heating
Help Chiamaka cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria713 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Chiamaka's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Marseille.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Francisco.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chiamaka
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. electricity arrears is the biggest at $55. Thanks, that means a lot.
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Good luck, Chiamaka. Hope you get there.
stay strong, Chiamaka. Hope you get there. Love from Madrid.
