The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Lindiwe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $90 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Lindiwe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

      take care, Lindiwe. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
