Don't let Paul's family go through the cold months without electricity and water

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Paul needs $100 before January.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $100. I have never been late before losing my job in November. 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 disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. 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: โ€ข Gas arrears: $65 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $10 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $25 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Paul
