Keep the electricity on at Sumaiya's home in Mumbai
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Sumaiya needs $100 before August.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $100. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
