Keep the electricity and water on at Dinesh's home in Swansea
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Dinesh needs $900 before August.
🇬🇧 Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom1,634 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $900. 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 $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer 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 $900 goes:
• Water arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $225
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Update from Swansea: I made the first payment toward water arrears. We're at 62% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Dinesh. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Rohini
keep going, Dinesh. Hope you get there.
So sorry you're going through this, Dinesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
keep going, Dinesh. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from La Plata
Wishing you the best, Dinesh. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Dinesh. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you peace, Dinesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Swansea.
