Keep the electricity and water on at Garba's home in Lagos

Garba is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in August and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 Garba's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Glad we found this place.

due date: 2025-11-02
bill type: Utility arrears
