Don't let Rotimi's family go through the cold months without electricity and water
Rotimi is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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 Rotimi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Rotimi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Birmingham.
You're not alone, Rotimi. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
You're not alone, Rotimi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rotimi.
It's all in the list in the story. gas arrears is the big one at $35, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Ikeja.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rotimi?
Thank you. If you're in Ikeja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
how is Rotimi doing now?
Rooting for you, Rotimi. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Rotimi. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
take care, Rotimi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Best of luck, Rotimi. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
good luck, Rotimi. Hope you get there.
Sending love, Rotimi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace, Rotimi. Hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
