Help Rashmi with an overdue electricity bill before the rainy season

Rashmi is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in August and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Rashmi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $650 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in August. Rashmi called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Rashmi is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rashmi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Water arrears: $260 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $265 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Hope it all works out, Krishna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
