Keep the electricity and water on at Funmilayo's home in Epe

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before September's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Funmilayo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Gas arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Every share and every dollar helps.
