Don't let Senait's family go through summer without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Senait needs $100 before November.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer 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 $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $55
• Reconnection and late fees: $25
• Down payment on a payment plan: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bangkok.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Senait.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. water arrears comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Medina.
looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Senait. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hang in there, Senait. Your post was clear and honest.
So sorry you're going through this, Senait. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Boulogne-Billancourt this morning. Take care.
Take care, Senait. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you, Senait. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
You're not alone, Senait. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Gondar.
Sending strength, Senait. Shared this with my family. Love from Mannheim.
