Don't let Fionnuala's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water

Help Fionnuala cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $700. 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 $55 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 $700 goes: • Heating arrears: $400 • Reconnection and late fees: $145 • Down payment on a payment plan: $155 Thanks for being kind about this. - Fionnuala
