The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $600. 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 $100 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months 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 $600 goes: • Water arrears: $360 • Reconnection and late fees: $70 • Down payment on a payment plan: $170 Glad we found this place. - Yasmin

        Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Riyadh

        • Thanks for sharing this, Yasmin. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
