Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Bilal pay $850
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Bilal needs $850 before November.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $850. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $850 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $550
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $160
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Bilal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours
Sending good thoughts, Bilal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nairobi.
Good luck, Bilal. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
