Keep the heating on at Yared's home in Gondar

Yared is behind on heating bills after losing my job in July and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. 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 $20 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Yared
