Don't let Roberto's family go through the cold months without electricity and water
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Roberto needs $300 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 $300. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $50 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity and water 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $300 goes:
• Utility arrears: $185
• Reconnection and late fees: $15
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Cardiff.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Odesa.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Oakland so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. God bless.
