Don't let Zoey's family go through the cold months without electricity
Zoey is behind on electricity bills after November's medical emergency and needs $850 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $850. I have never been late before November's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Zoey's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Heating arrears: $570
• Reconnection and late fees: $75
• Down payment on a payment plan: $205
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
praying for you, Zoey. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mandaue
Hope it all works out, Zoey. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Chandler.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Sydney
You're not alone. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Zoey. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Indore so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Sydney.
