Keep the heating on at Francois's home in Mthatha
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Francois needs $200 before September.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
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 newborn, and going through the rainy season without heating 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 Francois's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Water arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Thanks for reading all this.
