Don't let Mercy's family go through the cold months without electricity

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Mercy needs $100 before December.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $100. I have never been late before August's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $25 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
