The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in November. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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 Amanda's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $120 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $95 Every share and every dollar helps.

due date: 2025-02-20
bill type: Utility arrears
