Don't let Gayan's family go through summer without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Gayan needs $150 before October.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity 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 Gayan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Water arrears: $110
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Gayan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning
