The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in March. 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 three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity 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 Mugisha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mugisha

Updates from Mugisha

Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($44). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
