Help Lucky with an overdue electricity bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Lucky needs $100 before October.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria816 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. Lucky received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Lucky 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 rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Lucky is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Lucky's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Jide. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Take care, Jide. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 13 people at work.
You're not alone, Jide. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Bogotá
wishing you the best, Jide. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Howrah.
stay strong, Jide. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
this could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bilbao.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lucky
Sure. The biggest one is water arrears, $70. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love, Jide. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hang in there, Jide. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Lagos.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Caloocan.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Parma this morning. Thinking of Lagos.
Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Hang in there, Jide. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Sending love, Jide. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
