Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Kirit pay $100
Kirit is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May 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 $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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:
• Heating arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Kirit. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Embakasi this morning. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Kirit. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
take care, Kirit. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
