Heating shut-off notice: help Gaurav pay $100
Help Gaurav cover an overdue heating bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇮🇳 Gaya, Bihar, India1,303 views
The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August 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 $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Gaurav's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Gaurav
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 50% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 45% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gaurav!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utility arrears is the biggest at $45. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Gaurav. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
