Don't let Charlotte's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Charlotte cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $500. I have never been late before October's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $500 goes:
• Gas arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $110
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($303 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Charlotte. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nottingham.
