Keep the water on at Upendo's home in Fort Portal
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Upendo needs $100 before October.
🇺🇬 Fort Portal, Western Region, Uganda988 views
The water account is 2 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 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 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Upendo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Upendo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you and your family, Upendo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you, Upendo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Fort Portal
Wishing you the best, Upendo. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 16 people at work. All the best.
take care, Upendo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Love from London.
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
