The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $150. I have never been late before March's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer 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 $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Njeri
Quick update: $36 raised so far (24%). the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($26 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($16). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
