Help Atieno with an overdue water bill before the rainy season

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Atieno needs $100 before September.

The water account is 2 months behind. Atieno received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. 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 a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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: • Utility arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 Thank you so much.

        Hope things get better soon, Chebet. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal.
