Keep the water on at Kelechi's home in Badagry
Kelechi is behind on water bills after losing my job in June and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
