Don't let Cherry's family go through summer without electricity and water
Cherry is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in March and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in March.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 Cherry's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cherry
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. utility arrears comes first ($65) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
hope things get better soon, Cherry. Shared it with a few friends
Praying for you, Cherry. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Gangnam
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Regensburg so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Gujranwala.
