Keep the electricity on at Yubraj's home in Kathmandu
Yubraj is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in May and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Yubraj received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in May.
Yubraj called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Yubraj is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Yubraj's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
With deep gratitude,
Rajesh

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yubraj
It's all in the list in the story. water arrears is the big one at $80, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Rajesh. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Love from Mwanza.
How is Yubraj doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Rajesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Shared this with my family. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
good luck, Rajesh. Looking forward to the next update. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care
Thinking of you, Rajesh. Shared this with my family. Take care
