Keep the electricity on at Chhaya's home in Newcastle upon Tyne

Chhaya is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $550. 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 $125 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Chhaya's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Electricity arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $150 • Down payment on a payment plan: $180 Glad we found this place. - Chhaya
