The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $600. 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 $55 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $600 goes: • Gas arrears: $290 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Hye-jin

Wanted to say thank you properly. 33% funded and I made the first payment toward gas arrears.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($150 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Hye-jin
Quick update: $75 raised so far (13%). the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
