Don't let Terry's family go through the rainy season without electricity

Terry is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in August and needs $850 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Terry received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $850 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August. Terry called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Terry is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Terry's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $850 goes: • Utility arrears: $510 • Reconnection and late fees: $140 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 Thank you for reading my story. - Lydia
