The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
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 disabled brother, and going through winter 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 $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lahore!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about heating arrears, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Praying for you, Usman. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Usman.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. heating arrears comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
