Don't let Clara's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Clara cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇺🇸 United States1,807 views
The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Clara received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Clara called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $200 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Clara 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 $800 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $500
• Reconnection and late fees: $175
• Down payment on a payment plan: $125
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Jordan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($373 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $138 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

So sorry you're going through this, Jordan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Savar but we're thinking of you. Love from Savar.
