Keep the electricity on at Mukesh's home in Varanasi

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Mukesh received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Mukesh called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Mukesh 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 $150 goes: • Electricity arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 With deep gratitude, Sita
