Don't let Thomas's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water
Thomas is behind on electricity and water bills after July's medical emergency and needs $450 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $450. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $155 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Thomas's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $450 goes:
• Gas arrears: $210
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Thomas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Thomas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Thomas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu
Sending love, Thomas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Sending strength, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Montpellier
