Keep the electricity and water on at Nancy's home in Cape Coast
Nancy is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
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 winter 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $5
With deep gratitude,
Nancy

Updates from Nancy
Quick update: $49 raised so far (49%). I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Quick update: $29 raised so far (29%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace, Nancy. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
