What's already covered and what's the $100 for?
Heating arrears is $60 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon, Bisma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Any update on how things are going in Lahore?
Slowly but in the right direction, thanks for asking. I'll put up a proper update with receipts soon. Good question.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Bonny
Is August a hard date?
It's firm, August. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Bisma. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is it paid to the utility company directly?
I get the payout and then pay the utility company. Every payment goes in the updates. Fair thing to want to know.
Thanks for sharing this, Bisma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Punjab. I'll ask around and let you know.
Do you have the disconnection notice you could share with the moderators?
I sent the disconnection notice in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. It helps to be asked.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Rashid?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about heating arrears, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
can't donate right now but I've shared this in three community groups.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lahore.
