Help Odhiambo with an overdue electricity and water bill before summer
Odhiambo is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Odhiambo received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Odhiambo 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 a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Odhiambo is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Odhiambo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Jepkoech. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Cầu Giấy.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Odhiambo
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. water arrears is the biggest at $80. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Olinda this morning
best of luck, Jepkoech. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Take care.
you're not alone, Jepkoech. Hope this works out for you. Love from London.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
