Keep the electricity on at Darshan's home in Lucknow
Darshan is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in July and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Darshan received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in July.
Darshan called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Darshan is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Heating arrears: $30
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lucknow.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Darshan?
Thank you. If you're in Lucknow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lucknow
Hang in there, Sakshi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
wishing you the best, Sakshi. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
good luck, Sakshi. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
