Don't let So-yeon's family go through summer without electricity and water

So-yeon is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. So-yeon received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. So-yeon called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. So-yeon 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 $550 goes: • Utility arrears: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $145 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Jae-hyun

  1. Thank you all. We're at 92% now ($505). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($310 in total) the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 54% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
