Don't let Ifeoma's family go through summer without electricity

Ifeoma is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in August and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October 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 $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Ifeoma's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ifeoma?

          It's all in the list in the story. water arrears is the big one at $40, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.

                Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!

                • Marcus C. Schultz

                  I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
