Don't let William's family go through the rainy season without electricity
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and William needs $550 before May.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. William received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household.
William called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
William is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $550 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $320
• Reconnection and late fees: $115
• Down payment on a payment plan: $115

So sorry you're going through this, Melanie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Melanie. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
