Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Puja pay $100
Puja is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

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 $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Puja. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nashik.
Hope it all works out, Puja. Looking forward to the next update.
