Keep the electricity on at Kumar's home in Thrissur

Kumar is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

Thrissur
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October 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 $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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: • Water arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Every share and every dollar helps.
