Don't let Chebet's family go through the cold months without gas
A disconnection notice for gas arrived and Chebet needs $55 before June.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania663 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $55. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
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 the cold months without gas 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Chebet's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $55 goes:
• Water arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Chebet
Good news. Because of your gifts ($28 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Multan.
Sending strength, Chebet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Sydney this morning. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 36 people at work.
Thinking of you, Chebet. Hope you get there. I hope June is when things finally get easier
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
So sorry you're going through this, Chebet. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Chebet. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
