Don't let Pankaj's family go through the cold months without water

The water account is 2 months behind. Pankaj received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before May's medical emergency. Pankaj called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Pankaj is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Pankaj's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aditi
