Water shut-off notice: help Nithya pay $100

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Nithya needs $100 before January.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $100. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without water 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: • Water arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Nithya

  1. Small update. $58 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Mumbai: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 50% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. God bless.
