The water account is 2 months behind. Obiageli received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August. Obiageli 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 the rainy season without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Obiageli 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: • Electricity arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Adewale

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 65% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Bonny: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
