Don't let Rahul's family go through winter without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Rahul needs $650 before March.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $650. I have never been late before December's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Rahul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $100
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Rahul
Small update. $253 so far, the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
Update from Atlanta: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $100 raised so far (15%). I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Rahul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
