The electricity and water account is 2 months behind. Sadie received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $500 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Sadie called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Sadie is working on getting back on her 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 $500 goes: • Water arrears: $320 • Reconnection and late fees: $75 • Down payment on a payment plan: $105 Thank you for reading my story. - Howard

Updates from Howard

  1. Small update. $36 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($36). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($20 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Howard
