Don't let Lucy's family go through summer without electricity

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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 Lucy's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Lucy

  1. Update from Nairobi: I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. We're at 90% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
