Keep the electricity on at Saki's home in Osaka
Saki is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in May and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $550 goes:
• Water arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Saki. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 13 people at work
keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Rohini so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Vadodara
Sending good thoughts, Saki. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you. All the best!
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Phuket!
