Don't let Sadie's family go through summer without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Sadie received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on April unless $750 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Sadie called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Sadie is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $750 goes: • Gas arrears: $450 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
