Don't let Emeka's family go through summer without heating
Help Emeka cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 2 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 $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Emeka. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Keep going, Emeka. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update
sending strength, Emeka. Shared it with a few friends. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Addis Ababa so I could bring a meal. All the best
Praying for you, Emeka. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Emeka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Lagos.

This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Lagos
sending good thoughts, Emeka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Lagos
Hope it all works out, Emeka. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
