Electricity shut-off notice: help Kumara pay $150
Help Kumara cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇱🇰 Kandy, Central, Sri Lanka342 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Kumara received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Kumara called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Kumara is working on getting back on his 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 $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $90
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Glad we found this place.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kandy.
Thank you. If you're in Kandy I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you, Ishara. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mapo.

Rooting for you, Ishara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this, Ishara. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 28 people at work. All the best.
