Electricity shut-off notice: help Khadija pay $100
Help Khadija cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt1,282 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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:
• Gas arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Rooting for you, Khadija. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Cairo!
Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Khadija. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Jose!
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mohammedia.
