Water shut-off notice: help Suhas pay $150
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Suhas needs $150 before July.
🇮🇳 Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India1,234 views
The water account is 4 months behind. Suhas received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Suhas 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. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Suhas is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Suhas'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: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Sachin
Small update. $67 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Sachin
We're at 33% thanks to 1 of you. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. More news soon.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Suhas?
Thank you. If you're in Thiruvananthapuram I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
sending good thoughts, Sachin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Greetings from Salem
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Thiruvananthapuram.
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Best of luck, Sachin. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
