Don't let Grace's family go through winter without heating

Grace is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. Grace received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Grace called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Grace is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Grace's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Hang in there, Bukola. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

    • Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal.

        Keep going, Bukola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 4 people at work. Greetings from Onitsha.
