Don't let Miles's family go through summer without electricity

Miles is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $800 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. Miles received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $800 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Miles called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Miles is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Miles's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Utility arrears: $490 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $155 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Landon

    Good luck, Landon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
