Keep the electricity on at Ritu's home in Noida
Ritu is behind on electricity bills after August's medical emergency and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, 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 Ritu's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $200 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $70
Thank you so much.

How is Ritu doing now?
Sending strength, Ritu. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Noida.
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Salé donated after I showed her your page
