Keep the electricity and water on at Sade's home in Awka
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Sade needs $100 before August.
🇳🇬 Awka, Anambra, Nigeria931 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before April'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 three children under ten, and going through winter 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
