Keep the electricity on at Otieno's home in Nairobi
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Otieno needs $150 before November.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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:
• Water arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Otieno?
Thank you. If you're in Nairobi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace, Otieno. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nairobi
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
