Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Nicolás pay $700
Help Nicolás cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇺🇸 Chicago, Illinois, United States624 views
The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $700. I have never been late before losing my job in February.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Nicolás's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Heating arrears: $350
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $200
Glad we found this place.
