The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $1,050. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer 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 $1,050 goes: • Electricity arrears: $720 • Reconnection and late fees: $170 • Down payment on a payment plan: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Evelyn
