Help Atieno with an overdue water bill before the cold months

The water account is 2 months behind. Atieno 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. Atieno called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Atieno is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Atieno's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 With deep gratitude, Githinji
