Keep the electricity on at Fatema's home in Gazipur
Fatema is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Fatema received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Fatema called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 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.
Fatema is working on getting back on her 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:
• Water arrears: $30
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Mitu
Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($27). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gazipur.
Thank you. If you're in Gazipur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Dhaka.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
How is Fatema doing now?
