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

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $900. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer without electricity 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 $900 goes: • Utility arrears: $600 • Reconnection and late fees: $180 • Down payment on a payment plan: $120 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Randall
