Don't let Uwe's family go through the cold months without electricity

Uwe is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $650. 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 $145 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the 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 Uwe's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Heating arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $275 Thank you so much.

              Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

              • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Uwe.

                • keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
