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

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and 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: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Comilla
So sorry you're going through this, Asif. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Surat
You're not alone, Asif. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Asif
Utility arrears is $55 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Asif. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Comilla!

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Nagpur
Stay strong, Asif. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours
Hang in there, Asif. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
