Water shut-off notice: help Madhu pay $700
Help Madhu cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇬🇧 Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom835 views
The water account is 3 months behind. Madhu received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $700 is paid. She had never been late before May's medical emergency.
Madhu called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $145 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through summer without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Madhu 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 $700 goes:
• Heating arrears: $380
• Reconnection and late fees: $160
• Down payment on a payment plan: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Vijay. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Saint Petersburg
Rooting for you, Vijay. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
