The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $750. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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 Ezra's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $420
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $265
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ezra
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. heating arrears comes first ($420) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you, Ezra. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 3 people at work. Greetings from Caloocan.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Sending love, Ezra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
