The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Sibusiso's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Gas arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($96 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Stellenbosch: we've started the first stage. We're at 48% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($86). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
