Don't let Dinda's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water

Dinda is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Dinda received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Dinda called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Dinda is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Dinda's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Every share and every dollar helps.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 67% funded and we've started the first stage.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 83% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
