Don't let Vusi's family go through winter without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Vusi needs $250 before December.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 $250 goes:
• Utility arrears: $150
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
Thank you so much.
