The electricity and water account is 2 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 December's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $180 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $850 goes: • Water arrears: $560 • Reconnection and late fees: $155 • Down payment on a payment plan: $135 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Andrew
