Don't let Clement's family go through summer without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Clement needs $100 before February.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in November.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $70
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
With deep gratitude,
Clement

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Clement.
It's all in the list in the story. electricity arrears is the big one at $70, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, Clement. This could happen to any of us. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Rabat.
