Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Varun pay $100
Varun is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Varun's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
With deep gratitude,
Varun

Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Varun
Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Update from Mangaluru: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

sending strength, Varun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kano.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
