Keep the heating on at Siyabonga's home in Pietermaritzburg

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $150. I have never been late before September's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $150 goes: • Water arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 Thank you so much.
