The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in January. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Alyssa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Utility arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $135 Thank you so much. - Alyssa

Updates from Alyssa

  1. Thank you all. We're at 59% now ($326). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. Update from Toronto: the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($46 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
