Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Naresh pay $50

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Naresh received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $50 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Naresh called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Naresh is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Naresh's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $50 goes: • Gas arrears: $35 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Madhu
