Heating shut-off notice: help Ahmed pay $150
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Ahmed needs $150 before October.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,679 views
The heating account is 3 months behind. Ahmed received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Ahmed called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Ahmed is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Ahmed's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55

Thinking of you, Layla. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of 6th of October City!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ahmed
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $75, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kinondoni.
wishing you the best, Layla. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Cox's Bazar this morning. Thinking of 6th of October City.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Layla. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Hang in there, Layla. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
sending strength, Layla. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Saket

Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
