Keep the electricity on at Sanjay's home in Greensboro
Help Sanjay cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇺🇸 United States1,411 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Sanjay received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $900 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency.
Sanjay called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $185 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Sanjay is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sanjay's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Gas arrears: $670
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $150
Thanks for reading all this.
