Don't let Atim's family go through the cold months without electricity

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Atim received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before April's medical emergency. Atim called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Atim is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Heating arrears: $85 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
