Keep the heating on at Uche's home in Ikeja
Help Uche cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,218 views
The heating account is 3 months behind. Uche received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Uche 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 a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Uche is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Uche's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
