Help Mwangi with an overdue electricity bill before summer

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Mwangi needs $100 before November.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Mwangi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Mwangi 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 summer without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Mwangi 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: • Water arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kevin
