The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Sneha received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Sneha called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $175 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Sneha is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $590 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $105 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($198). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
