The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Zinhle's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $105
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

how is Zinhle doing now?
This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Zinhle. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Riyadh
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Bucaramanga but we're thinking of you. Love from Bucaramanga.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 32 people at work.
