Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Brooks pay $550
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Brooks needs $550 before September.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $550. 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 $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season 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 $550 goes:
• Utility arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $115
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Albuquerque.
Thank you. If you're in Albuquerque I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brooks!
hang in there, Brooks. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bengaluru!
Stay strong, Brooks. Hope you get there. Love from Tlaquepaque
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Arlington this morning
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
