Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Raymond pay $600

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $600. I have never been late before January's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. 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 $600 goes: • Electricity arrears: $400 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Raymond
