Don't let Kehinde's family go through summer without gas
Kehinde is behind on gas bills after losing my job in January and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria1,225 views
The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in January.
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 gas 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 Kehinde's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kehinde?
Thank you. If you're in Wudil I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Santos this morning. Love from Santos.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
how is Kehinde doing now?
Take care, Kehinde. Your post was clear and honest. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kehinde!
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $50, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Thanks for sharing this, Kehinde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
You're not alone, Kehinde. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Praying for you, Kehinde. Hope this works out for you
best of luck, Kehinde. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
