Keep the heating on at Vida's home in Accra
A disconnection notice for heating arrived and Vida needs $100 before October.

The heating account is 2 months behind. Vida received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before July's medical emergency.
Vida called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Vida is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Vida's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Kobina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
