The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $600. 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 $75 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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 Emma's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: โ€ข Gas arrears: $430 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $80 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $90 Thank you so much.
