Don't let Nipa's family go through the rainy season without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Nipa needs $700 before July.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom463 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $700. I have never been late before May's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Nipa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Water arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Nipa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Nipa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
