Keep the gas on at Caroline's home in Mombasa
Caroline is behind on gas bills after losing my job in December and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in December.
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 two young children, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Caroline's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Caroline. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Thane.
You're not alone, Caroline. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
