Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Naana pay $150

Help Naana cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in January. 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 a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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 Naana's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 With deep gratitude, Naana

Updates from Naana

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($117 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Tema: I made the first payment toward gas arrears. We're at 61% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $68 raised so far (45%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
