Don't let Efe's family go through the rainy season without electricity

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Efe needs $100 before November.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Efe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $35 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Rooting for you, Efe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. All the best.

      Wishing you peace, Efe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from San Jose
