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

Help Arief 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 November unless I pay $100. 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 $15 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $75 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Arief
