Keep the electricity and water on at Okello's home in Embakasi

Okello is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Okello 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. Okello called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Okello is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Okello's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 With deep gratitude, Wangari
