Don't let Aadhya's family go through summer without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Aadhya needs $100 before February.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in November.
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 an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity and water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Aadhya
We're at 123% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 58% funded and I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Aadhya. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Coimbatore but we're thinking of you.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Thinking of Hubballi.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Bengaluru.
You're not alone, Aadhya. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
