Water shut-off notice: help Tumusiime pay $100
Help Tumusiime cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇰🇪 Kenya555 views
The water account is 4 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 an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
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 $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
