Help Dalia with an overdue electricity bill before winter
Dalia is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Dalia received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Dalia 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 two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Dalia 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:
• Gas arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Nabil
Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) I made the first payment toward gas arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dalia
Sure. The biggest one is gas arrears, $70. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you the best, Nabil. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
Stay strong, Nabil. Shared this with my family. God bless.
