Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Oliver pay $650

Help Oliver cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Oliver received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $650 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Oliver called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Oliver is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $430 • Reconnection and late fees: $70 • Down payment on a payment plan: $150 Glad we found this place. - Ella

Updates from Ella

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($220 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from London: we've started the first stage. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
