Water shut-off notice: help Ratul pay $100
Help Ratul cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
🇧🇩 Comilla, Chattogram, Bangladesh627 views
The water account is 3 months behind. Ratul received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Ratul called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Ratul is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once 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:
• Heating arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $45

Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Comilla
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Jimma

Wishing you the best, Mohammad. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck, Mohammad. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Saket this morning. All the best.
Sending strength, Mohammad. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

Thanks for sharing this, Mohammad. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
