Help Esther with an overdue heating bill before the rainy season

The heating account is 2 months behind. Esther received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Esther 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 disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Esther is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Esther's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Glad we found this place. - Kiprop
