Don't let Andrew's family go through winter without electricity and water
Help Andrew cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $1,050. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $1,050 goes:
• Water arrears: $570
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $270
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Andrew. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Albany but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Andrew. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this, Andrew. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mumbai.
