Don't let Vitaly's family go through summer without electricity and water

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Vitaly received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in September. Vitaly called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, 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. Vitaly is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Vitaly's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
