Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Maya pay $100

The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Maya received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Maya called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Maya is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Maya's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Water arrears: $65 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $20 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Zahra
