Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Ryszard pay $350

Ryszard is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $350 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $350. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $40 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through winter 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 $350 goes: • Gas arrears: $280 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ryszard

    Thinking of you and your family, Ryszard. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

        best of luck, Ryszard. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

          you're not alone, Ryszard. This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Epe.

            This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Rajshahi donated after I showed her your page. God bless

              I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from London.

                      Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Mombasa so I could bring a meal.
