The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in March. 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 three children under ten, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Lata's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: โ€ข Water arrears: $75 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $15 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $60 I hope life is good to you.

      How is Lata doing now?

      • sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lata

          • Lata T. JainOwnerAnswer

            Water arrears is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

        • Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

          • shared this with my family. Don't give up. God bless.
