Keep the heating on at Aishwarya's home in Pune

The heating account is 4 months behind. Aishwarya received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Aishwarya called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Aishwarya is working on getting back on her 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 $100 goes: โ€ข Electricity arrears: $70 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $10 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Sandesh

  1. Update from Pune: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 55% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($68 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
