Help Kioko with an overdue water bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Kioko needs $100 before August.
🇰🇪 Kenya179 views
The water account is 2 months behind. Kioko received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before June's medical emergency.
Kioko 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. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Kioko is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Ludhiana.
Sending good thoughts, Sarah. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you peace, Sarah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Manchester.
Sending strength, Sarah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
rooting for you, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
