Help Dhruv with an overdue electricity bill before winter
Dhruv is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.
🇮🇳 Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India494 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. Dhruv received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Dhruv 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 two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Dhruv 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:
• Heating arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Glad we found this place.

stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dhruv?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about heating arrears, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Hope things get better soon, Apurva. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Thủ Đức
praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Apurva. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dhruv.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. heating arrears is the biggest at $80. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace, Apurva. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Apurva. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Apurva. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Karachi.
so sorry you're going through this, Apurva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
