Keep the electricity on at Jyoti's home in Kochi

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $150. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
