Don't let Dennis's family go through the cold months without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $400. I have never been late before September's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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 Dennis's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $400 goes: • Electricity arrears: $175 • Reconnection and late fees: $85 • Down payment on a payment plan: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
