Keep the electricity and water on at Lamia's home in Noida
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Lamia needs $150 before October.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
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 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 Lamia's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Utility arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Lamia
Quick update: $50 raised so far (33%). I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($25). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Lamia
