Don't let Omar's family go through winter without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Omar needs $100 before October.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in July.
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 a newborn, 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 Omar's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Gas arrears: $65
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
