Don't let Ngozika's family go through winter without electricity and water
Help Ngozika cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria276 views
The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Ngozika received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Ngozika 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 an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Ngozika is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Ngozika's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Bola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope it all works out, Bola. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bangkok.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Haarlem this morning
Stay strong, Bola. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
