Electricity shut-off notice: help Shahana pay $100
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Shahana needs $100 before August.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh509 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Shahana received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in May.
Shahana called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Shahana 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 $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $30
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Gazipur
this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Gazipur.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shahana?
Sending strength, Ruma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Ruma. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Sending love, Ruma. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Nagpur
