Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Wangari pay $150
Wangari is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 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 November unless I pay $150. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Wangari's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $75
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
