Updates from Anand
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) the plan for utility arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Aurangabad: I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. We're at 45% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
10% there. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Thank you.

does the money go straight to the utility company or to you?
I get the payout and then pay the utility company. Every payment goes in the updates. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Munich donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
What exactly is the $100 for?
It's all in the list in the story. utility arrears is the big one at $70, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
You're not alone, Anand. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Aurangabad.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utility arrears, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
