Help Ebuka with an overdue electricity bill before the cold months
Help Ebuka cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇳🇬 Nigeria331 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Ebuka received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before May's medical emergency.
Ebuka called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Ebuka is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Ebuka's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $95
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30

thanks for sharing this, Favour. Your post was clear and honest
Sending love, Favour. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Rooting for you, Favour. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
