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

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Noreen received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Noreen 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 three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Noreen is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Noreen's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $35 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
