Don't let Leo's family go through summer without electricity and water
Help Leo cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $600. I have never been late before April's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through summer 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Leo's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $600 goes:
• Water arrears: $340
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $130
Glad we found this place.

Update from Ottawa: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 28% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
