Keep the electricity and water on at Ankit's home in Mangaluru
Help Ankit cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $100. I have never been late before January's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thank you all. We're at 50% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
