Gas shut-off notice: help Nithya pay $100
Help Nithya cover an overdue gas bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇮🇳 Saket, Delhi, India1,549 views
The gas account is 3 months behind. Nithya received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Nithya called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Nithya 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:
• Electricity arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Karthik. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Gangnam!
Keep going. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Ho.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nithya?
Thank you. If you're in Saket I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you the best, Karthik. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Hope it all works out, Karthik. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Wollongong.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Take care, Karthik. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Karthik. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
sending good thoughts, Karthik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 39 people at work. Take care.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Saket
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
