Don't let Daniel's family go through the cold months without electricity

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $450. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Daniel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $450 goes: • Gas arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Daniel
