Don't let Humaira's family go through the rainy season without electricity
Humaira is behind on electricity bills after August's medical emergency and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Humaira received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Humaira called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Humaira is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Sending strength, Farah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Gwagwalada
