Don't let Karanja's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Karanja needs $100 before December.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
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 an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out, Karanja. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up
Hope things get better soon, Karanja. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Buenos Aires this morning. Thinking of Nairobi.
Rooting for you, Karanja. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Nairobi
