Don't let Paul's family go through the rainy season without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Paul needs $100 before August.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria761 views
The water account is 3 months behind. Paul received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Paul 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 the rainy season without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Paul is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Paul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care!
sending good thoughts, Emeka. Shared this with my family
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sending love, Emeka. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
