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

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Nicholas needs $750 before November.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $750. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Nicholas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Water arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $175 • Down payment on a payment plan: $205 I hope life is good to you.

  1. 46% there. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Thank you.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($175). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
