Don't let Asif's family go through winter without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $50. 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 $20 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Asif's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $50 goes: • Gas arrears: $25 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
