Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Ifeoma pay $100
Ifeoma is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria642 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Ifeoma received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Ifeoma called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Ifeoma is working on getting back on her 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: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Grace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
any update on how things are going in Kaduna?
best of luck, Grace. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ifeoma?
Thank you. If you're in Kaduna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
You're not alone, Grace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Kaduna.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. God bless
so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kaduna.
