Help Zoë with an overdue electricity and water bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Zoë needs $600 before October.
🇳🇱 3013 LH, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands754 views
The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Zoë received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $600 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Zoë called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Zoë is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Zoë's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Heating arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $90
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Wilma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Stay strong, Wilma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoë!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. heating arrears is the biggest at $340. Good question.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
how is Zoë doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Wilma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles!
Keep going, Wilma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Keep going, Wilma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Rotterdam!
Thinking of you, Wilma. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts, Wilma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out, Wilma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending love, Wilma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you peace, Wilma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Rotterdam
