The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 John's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $80
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you, John. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Sydney this morning. Blessings.
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
