Keep the water on at Blessing's home in Lagos
Blessing is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
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 newborn, and going through winter without 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Blessing's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($19). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for gas arrears is now scheduled.
Quick update: $10 raised so far (10%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
