Keep the heating on at Nadia's home in Johannesburg

The heating account is 3 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 losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Nadia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Electricity arrears: $110 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Thank you for reading my story. - Nadia
