Don't let Brandon's family go through summer without electricity

Brandon is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in July and needs $900 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $900. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity 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 Brandon's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $900 goes: • Gas arrears: $550 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
