Don't let Waylon's family go through the rainy season without electricity and water

Waylon is behind on electricity and water bills after losing my job in February and needs $850 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 May unless I pay $850. I have never been late before losing my job in February. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $190 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $850 goes: • Utility arrears: $410 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $285 If you're reading this, thank you.
