Don't let Iwan's family go through the rainy season without electricity
Iwan is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
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 two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

Any update on how things are going in Semarang?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Warsaw.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Siliguri donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Semarang.
You're not alone, Iwan. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Melbourne.
