Help James with an overdue electricity bill before winter
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and James needs $100 before June.
🇹🇿 Arusha, Arusha, Tanzania327 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. James received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
James called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
James is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
