Don't let Thulani's family go through winter without electricity

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. 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 $40 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Thulani's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $115 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
