Help Ngozika with an overdue gas bill before the cold months
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Ngozika needs $150 before September.
Anywhere in the world777 views
The gas account is 4 months behind. Ngozika received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in May.
Ngozika called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Ngozika 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 $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ngozika.
Sure. The biggest one is electricity arrears, $90. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Bhopal so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Good luck, Ngozi. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from São Paulo.
Any update on how things are going in Ogbomosho?
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ngozika?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about electricity arrears, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Ngozi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
Sending good thoughts, Ngozi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Pasig.
