Keep the water on at Ratul's home in Cox's Bazar
Ratul is behind on water bills after losing my job in June and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in June.
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 three children under ten, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Ratul's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
