Don't let Maya's family go through summer without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Maya needs $400 before August.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom724 views
The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Maya received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $400 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
Maya called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Maya is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Maya's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $400 goes:
• Gas arrears: $185
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Scarlett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending good thoughts, Scarlett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Dundee but we're thinking of you. All the best.
