The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. I have never been late before July's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity 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 Aisha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Utility arrears: $180 • Reconnection and late fees: $40 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    So sorry you're going through this, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

      Rooting for you, Aisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • Hope it all works out, Aisha. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
