Don't let Jannat's family go through winter without electricity and water

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Jannat needs $100 before November.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Jannat received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Jannat called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Jannat is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Glad we found this place.
