Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Sophie pay $500

Sophie is behind on electricity and water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Sophie received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $500 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Sophie called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Sophie is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Sophie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Heating arrears: $230 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $165 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
