Help Jyoti with an overdue electricity bill before the rainy season
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Jyoti needs $700 before September.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom542 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. Jyoti received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before July's medical emergency.
Jyoti called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Jyoti 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 $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $270
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $270
Thank you for reading my story.
