Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Ilaria pay $500
A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Ilaria needs $500 before July.
🇮🇹 Italy1,198 views
The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $500. 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 $80 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $65
• Down payment on a payment plan: $155
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ilaria
It's all in the list in the story. water arrears is the big one at $280, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Mandeville
Good luck, Ilaria. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Nashik.
Good luck, Ilaria. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Naples.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you. God bless.
thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
