Electricity shut-off notice: help Dylan pay $1,000
Help Dylan cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Dylan received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $1,000 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Dylan called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Dylan 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 $1,000 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $650
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $280
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Kennedy. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
So sorry you're going through this, Kennedy. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Shared this with my family. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Eldoret.
