Keep the electricity on at Irene's home in Embakasi

Help Irene cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.

Embakasi
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    best of luck, Irene. Hope you get there. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Embakasi.
