Don't let Samantha's family go through the cold months without electricity
Samantha is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $850 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $850. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $850 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $210
• Down payment on a payment plan: $290
Thank you so much.

Updates from Samantha
Wanted to say thank you properly. 28% funded and the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
9% there. I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees. Thank you.
