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

The water account is 2 months behind. Rakesh received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before August's medical emergency. Rakesh 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 three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Rakesh is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rakesh's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $30 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 Thank you so much.
