Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Raymond pay $500
Raymond is behind on electricity and water bills after May's medical emergency and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $500. I have never been late before May'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 the rainy season 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $500 goes:
• Gas arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 61% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

We're at 22% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan. More news soon.
