Help Zahra with an overdue electricity and water bill before summer

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Zahra received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before September's medical emergency. Zahra 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 parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Zahra is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Zahra's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Dewi
