Keep the electricity and water on at Jamal's home in Riverside

Jamal is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Jamal received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $950 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Jamal called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Jamal is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $950 goes: • Electricity arrears: $560 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Jamal?

      Thank you. If you're in Riverside I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

    • Lucas Torsten Sandberg

      keep going, Majid. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Bucaramanga donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

      • Paulette W. Rowe

        Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

          Wishing you peace, Majid. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Quezon City.

            thinking of you and your family, Majid. Shared this with my family.

            • Adrian Vlad Ungureanu

              Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
