The electricity account is 4 months behind. Mirjam received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Mirjam called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Mirjam is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $800 goes: • Heating arrears: $530 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $205 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Kees

Update from Amsterdam: we've started the first stage. We're at 42% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($132 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
