Don't let Wekesa's family go through the cold months without water

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Wekesa needs $100 before April.

The water account is 4 months behind. Wekesa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Wekesa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Wekesa 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 $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 I hope life is good to you.
