Help Aisha with an overdue water bill before winter
Aisha is behind on water bills after losing my job in June and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. Aisha received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in June.
Aisha called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Aisha is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once 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 $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
thanks for sharing this, Jabu. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Jabu. I hope things turn around soon
looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Kasarani
take care, Jabu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from São Paulo.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from London.
praying for you, Jabu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Jabu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal. Blessings
hope it all works out, Jabu. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 27 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
hope things get better soon, Jabu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto
