Keep the heating on at Githinji's home in Naivasha
Githinji is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Githinji received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Githinji called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Githinji is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $150 goes:
• Gas arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

How is Githinji doing now?
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Naivasha.
