Don't let Kelechi's family go through summer without electricity
Kelechi is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Kelechi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Kelechi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Kelechi is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Kelechi?
Thank you. If you're in Gwagwalada I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Sending strength, Comfort. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Bhopal
Thinking of you, Comfort. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
