The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $800. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 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 $800 goes: • Water arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $220 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 Thank you for reading my story.
