Updates from Shireen
Small update. $214 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($280 in total) the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

How is Zanele doing now?
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Sacramento.
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mandaue.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Zanele?
Thank you. If you're in Soweto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zanele!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. first month of rent as a buffer is the biggest at $240. Let me know if you want more detail.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Soweto!
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Soweto
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Soweto.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Christchurch
