The water account is 2 months behind. Chebet received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before June's medical emergency. Chebet 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 two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Chebet is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Byaruhanga
