Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Ivan pay $150

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Ivan received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Ivan called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Ivan is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Ivan's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
