Help Aisha with an overdue water bill before the rainy season
Help Aisha cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇰🇪 Kenya455 views
The water account is 2 months behind. Aisha received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before July's medical emergency.
Aisha called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Aisha is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Aisha's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Janet. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
keep going, Janet. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Eldoret
Thank you. If you're in Eldoret I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Sending love, Janet. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Janet. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
wishing you the best, Janet. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Eldoret.
hang in there, Janet. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Kingston
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Toledo.
