Keep the water on at Asma's home in Cairo
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Asma needs $50 before June.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $50. 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 $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $50 goes:
• Gas arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $5
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Dallas
You're not alone, Asma. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Take care!
Take care, Asma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
sending love, Asma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Keep going, Asma. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Sending strength, Asma. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Dhaka
Thanks for sharing this, Asma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Asma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
stay strong, Asma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
