Don't let Vivian's family go through the rainy season without electricity
Help Vivian cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria639 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in February.
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 two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Vivian's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Vivian. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
You're not alone, Vivian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there, Vivian. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Stay strong, Vivian. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
stay strong, Vivian. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
