Keep the electricity and water on at Nipa's home in Dhaka
Nipa is behind on electricity and water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Nipa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
Nipa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Nipa is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Nipa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $35
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Bithi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dehiwala
Wishing you peace, Bithi. Hope this works out for you. Love from Pietermaritzburg
Thinking of you and your family, Bithi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 13 people at work
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dhaka.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Dhaka
Thinking of you and your family, Bithi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
