Electricity shut-off notice: help Mabel pay $100
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Mabel needs $100 before July.
🇬🇭 Ghana1,472 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Mabel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in May.
Mabel called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Mabel 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:
• Utility arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Accra.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mabel.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utility arrears is the biggest at $50. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, Esi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Surrey.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mabel?
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Likoni.
Keep going, Esi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Bang Khen but we're thinking of you. Love from Bang Khen.
You're not alone, Esi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Radom
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Akron.
