Don't let John's family go through summer without water
Help John cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania429 views
The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without water 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in John's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kinondoni this morning
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dodoma!
Hope it all works out, John. I hope things turn around soon. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
sending strength, John. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Perth this morning.
Hope things get better soon, John. Hope this works out for you
you're not alone, John. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for John!
Heating arrears is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
