Don't let Okello's family go through winter without heating
Okello is behind on heating bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 Okello's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Okello. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 40 people at work.
