Electricity shut-off notice: help Samuel pay $150
Help Samuel cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December 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 $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Samuel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Blessings
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 26 people at work. Thinking of Eldoret!
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Eldoret.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
sending good thoughts, Samuel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Guarulhos
