Keep the heating on at Otieno's home in Embakasi

Otieno is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 4 months behind. Otieno received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Otieno 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 an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Otieno is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Otieno's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
