Keep the electricity on at Deepa's home in Hubballi

The electricity 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 losing my job in March. 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 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 Deepa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
