Don't let Konstantin's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $450. 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 $45 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 Konstantin's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $450 goes: โ€ข Gas arrears: $180 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $85 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $185 Glad we found this place.
