Don't let Hugo's family go through the cold months without electricity

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Hugo needs $850 before June.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $850. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months 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 Hugo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Heating arrears: $570 • Reconnection and late fees: $120 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 If you're reading this, thank you. - Hugo

Updates from Hugo

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 73% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Laval: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

            wishing you the best, Hugo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Laval.
