Keep the water on at Saanvi's home in Mumbai

Help Saanvi cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The water account is 4 months behind. Saanvi received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in April. Saanvi 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 water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Saanvi is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Saanvi's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Thanks for being kind about this. - Meena
