Don't let Yolanda's family go through the cold months without electricity and water

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Yolanda needs $250 before February.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless I pay $250. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 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. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 $250 goes: โ€ข Electricity arrears: $155 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $50 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
