Keep the heating on at Manal's home in Cairo
Manal is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Cairo!
So sorry you're going through this, Manal. This could happen to any of us. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Kota.
