Keep the water on at Shakil's home in Chattogram
Shakil is behind on water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 3 months behind. Shakil received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Shakil called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Shakil is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Shakil's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $30
Thank you so much.

Updates from Jewel
Update from Chattogram: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 79% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 45% funded and I made the first payment toward gas arrears. - Jewel
