Don't let Gabriella's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Gabriella cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

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 $450. I have never been late before August's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $450 goes:
• Gas arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $130
With deep gratitude,
Gabriella

Updates from Gabriella
Good news. Because of your gifts ($61 in total) I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

wishing you the best, Gabriella. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Gabriella. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from San Francisco.
Thinking of you, Gabriella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
