Don't let Genesis's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Genesis cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.
🇺🇸 Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States2,025 views
The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $900. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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 $900 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $690
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Genesis
Good news. Because of your gifts ($693 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Santa Fe: I made the first payment toward electricity arrears. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts, Genesis. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Genesis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from New York.
