The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $700. I have never been late before June's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $700 goes: • Electricity arrears: $490 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $85 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Wendy

Small update. $549 so far, I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.
Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($385). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Quick update: $70 raised so far (10%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
