Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Johanna pay $500
Help Johanna cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $500. 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 $120 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Johanna's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Johanna
Good news. Because of your gifts ($360 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Gothenburg: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 58% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Johanna?
Thank you. If you're in Gothenburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
this could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
