The electricity account is 4 months behind. Robert received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless $850 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Robert called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Robert is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Robert's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Utility arrears: $550 • Reconnection and late fees: $140 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 Every share and every dollar helps.
