Don't let Sanne's family go through summer without electricity and water
Sanne is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in August and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $500. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and water 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Sanne's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Gas arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $105
