Keep the electricity on at Abubakar's home in Gwagwalada
Abubakar is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in March and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 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 losing my job in March.
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 a newborn, and going through winter without electricity 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 Abubakar's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gwagwalada!
Thank you. If you're in Gwagwalada I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope July is when things finally get easier
How is Abubakar doing now?
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Rajkot this morning. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning. Blessings!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Iztapalapa this morning. Love from Iztapalapa.
