Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Ji-hye pay $550

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Ji-hye received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $550 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Ji-hye called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Ji-hye is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Ji-hye's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Utility arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $80 • Down payment on a payment plan: $130 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ha-joon
