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

Elise is behind on electricity and water bills after February's medical emergency and needs $600 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $600. I have never been late before February's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 Elise's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Utility arrears: $290 • Reconnection and late fees: $135 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Elise

                Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
