Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Yetunde pay $55

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $55. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Yetunde's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $55 goes: • Heating arrears: $40 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yetunde
