Don't let Atieno's family go through the cold months without gas
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Atieno needs $150 before November.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,110 views
The gas account is 2 months behind. Atieno received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Atieno called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Atieno is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Atieno's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
