Keep the water on at Idowu's home in Epe

Idowu is behind on water bills after losing my job in July and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in July. 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 parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Idowu's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Idowu
