Help Mahesh with an overdue electricity bill before the cold months
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Mahesh needs $100 before October.
🇮🇳 India1,469 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Mahesh received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August.
Mahesh called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Mahesh is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Mahesh's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mumbai.
Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Novosibirsk.
