Help Carter cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $900. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $200 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $900 goes: • Gas arrears: $530 • Reconnection and late fees: $185 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 Thank you for reading my story. - Carter

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Bronx so I could bring a meal.
