Don't let Mugisha's family go through the cold months without heating
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Mugisha needs $100 before December.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. 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 $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without heating 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 Mugisha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Mugisha. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from East London.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Arusha.
You're not alone, Mugisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Thinking of you, Mugisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
