The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Githinji's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Columbia this morning.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Githinji?
Thank you. If you're in Mwanza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Githinji. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Wishing you the best, Githinji. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
