Keep the electricity on at Abosede's home in Wudil
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Abosede needs $150 before September.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria607 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Abosede received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in June.
Abosede called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Abosede is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Abosede's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abosede
Sure. The biggest one is electricity arrears, $60. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you, Festus. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.
hope it all works out, Festus. Shared it with a few friends.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Abosede?
Thank you. If you're in Wudil I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Festus. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
best of luck, Festus. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Hang in there, Festus. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
How is Abosede doing now?
sending strength, Festus. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Hialeah this morning.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Mumbai.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you peace, Festus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
you're not alone, Festus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Wudil.
