Keep the electricity and water on at Meenakshi's home in Mumbai

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Meenakshi needs $150 before May.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in January. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 $150 goes: • Utility arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Thank you so much. - Meenakshi
