Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Kelechi pay $100
Help Kelechi cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,695 views
The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Kelechi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before June's medical emergency.
Kelechi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Kelechi is working on getting back on his 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:
• Water arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Amaka. I hope things turn around soon!
Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Adama.
Keep going, Amaka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kelechi
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. water arrears comes first ($45) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Good luck, Amaka. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out

Sending love, Amaka. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Amaka. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to New York so I could bring a meal. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Lahore.
