Keep the heating on at Pankaj's home in Bengaluru
Pankaj is behind on heating bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The heating account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without heating 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:
• Electricity arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Biratnagar donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you. 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. Greetings from Asaba.
Sending strength, Pankaj. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Praying for you, Pankaj. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Bengaluru this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Pankaj. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Cincinnati.
keep going, Pankaj. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Pankaj. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
