Keep the electricity on at Khadija's home in Cairo
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Khadija needs $100 before August.
🇪🇬 Egypt405 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $10
Glad we found this place.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cairo.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about water arrears, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
