Keep the electricity and water on at Mary's home in Nakuru
Help Mary cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya219 views
The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Mary's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $55
I hope life is good to you.

How is Mary doing now?
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nakuru
Take care, Mary. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Toronto.
stay strong, Mary. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope it all works out, Mary. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Latina.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Nakuru.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Paris
Sending strength, Mary. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
