Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Elijah pay $650

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Elijah received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $650 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Elijah called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Elijah is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Elijah's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $290 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $265 Thanks for being kind about this. - Angel
