Keep the gas on at Abebe's home in Bahir Dar

The gas account is 4 months behind. Abebe received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Abebe called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Abebe is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Abebe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Glad we found this place.
