Help Sathish with an overdue water bill before summer
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Sathish needs $100 before August.
Anywhere in the world1,021 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Sathish received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before May's medical emergency.
Sathish 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 a newborn, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Sathish is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sathish's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $50
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Tharun
Thank you all. We're at 70% now ($70). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

You're not alone, Tharun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Mardan but we're thinking of you.
