Keep the electricity and water on at Janani's home in Pune

Janani is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in June 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 September unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in June. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Janani's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $55 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Janani

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Chandler.
