Don't let Madelyn's family go through winter without electricity

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $650. 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 $135 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity 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 Madelyn's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 I hope life is good to you. - Madelyn
