Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Fatima pay $250
Help Fatima cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $250. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Fatima's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $130
• Reconnection and late fees: $60
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Fatima. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Take care, Fatima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Mecca.
Thinking of you, Fatima. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending strength, Fatima. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Fatima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Mecca
Rooting for you, Fatima. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Bursa
