Don't let Janet's family go through summer without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Janet needs $100 before January.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in September.
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 two young children, and going through summer 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Janet's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Utility arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Thane.
