Don't let Caleb's family go through winter without electricity

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Caleb needs $600 before April.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Caleb received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Caleb called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $70 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Caleb is working on getting back on his 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 $600 goes: • Water arrears: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sarah

              Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from London.
