Help Nyambura with an overdue gas bill before summer
Nyambura is behind on gas bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. Nyambura received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Nyambura 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 newborn, and going through summer without gas isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Nyambura is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Nyambura's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Janet. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Nakhon Ratchasima
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nyambura?
Thank you. If you're in Mbale I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Love from Amritsar.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
how is Nyambura doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Janet. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
keep going, Janet. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nyambura
Wishing you the best, Janet. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning
rooting for you, Janet. Shared this with my family.
Sending love, Janet. 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. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Warsaw.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
