Don't let Anna's family go through summer without electricity and water

Help Anna cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $500. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $230 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $135 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
