Keep the electricity on at Suhas's home in Chennai

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Suhas received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Suhas called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Suhas 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: • Heating arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 With deep gratitude, Viral
