Help Nomsa with an overdue electricity bill before the rainy season
Nomsa is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Nomsa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Nomsa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Nomsa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Nomsa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love, Kreesan. Your post was clear and honest
Hope things get better soon, Kreesan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
rooting for you, Kreesan. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from New York.
