Don't let Grace's family go through winter without electricity and water
Grace is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $850 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $850. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $850 goes:
• Utility arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $290
Thanks for reading all this.

hope things get better soon, Grace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Busan.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Santa Fe
Rooting for you, Grace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
