Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Apichart pay $250

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Apichart received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $250 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Apichart called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Apichart is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Apichart's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $250 goes: • Heating arrears: $150 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
