Don't let Kimani's family go through the cold months without electricity
Kimani is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Kimani received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Kimani called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Kimani is working on getting back on his 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 $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Grace. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Hang in there, Grace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family, Grace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Winston-Salem but we're thinking of you. All the best.
You're not alone, Grace. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Grace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
wishing you peace, Grace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
