Keep the heating on at Precious's home in Stellenbosch
Help Precious cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $250. 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through summer without heating 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Gas arrears: $145
• Reconnection and late fees: $35
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Precious. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Precious?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gas arrears, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
thinking of you and your family, Precious. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
Stay strong, Precious. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Precious.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gas arrears comes first ($145) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Precious. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Thinking of you, Precious. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal. God bless
any update on how things are going in Stellenbosch?
So sorry you're going through this, Precious. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. I hope March is when things finally get easier!
Wishing you the best, Precious. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Good luck, Precious. This could happen to any of us.
Good luck, Precious. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 37 people at work. Thinking of Stellenbosch
