Don't let Priya's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Priya needs $200 before November.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. 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 $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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 $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $85
• Reconnection and late fees: $50
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gqeberha.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Gqeberha.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Los Angeles
hope things get better soon, Priya. Hope you get there. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Priya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Łódź.
