Don't let Zewditu's family go through the cold months without water
Zewditu is behind on water bills after May's medical emergency and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before May's medical emergency.
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 the cold months without water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Zewditu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Zewditu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
