Keep the electricity and water on at Deepa's home in Bengaluru

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Deepa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Glad we found this place. - Deepa
