Keep the electricity and water on at John's home in Gulu
John is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in John's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. God bless
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Khon Kaen.
Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Katowice.
