Keep the electricity and water on at Fani's home in Bekasi
Fani is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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:
• Gas arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Fani
Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($29). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($9 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending strength, Fani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Asaba.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck, Fani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Pune
