Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Maverick pay $700

A disconnection notice for electricity and water arrived and Maverick needs $700 before October.

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. 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 $75 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $700 goes: • Utility arrears: $350 • Reconnection and late fees: $125 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Maverick

Updates from Maverick

  1. Small update. $355 so far, I made the first payment toward reconnection and late fees.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.

    So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Vadodara.

          Best of luck, Maverick. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
