Don't let Folake's family go through winter without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless I pay $100. 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 $25 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
