Don't let Roshan's family go through winter without electricity
Roshan is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in October and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in October.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Roshan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
With deep gratitude,
Roshan

Updates from Roshan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($73 in total) the plan for water arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Kathmandu: the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Roshan
Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. - Roshan

You're not alone, Roshan. Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Roshan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Thinking of Kathmandu
