Electricity shut-off notice: help Adrian pay $600
Help Adrian cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia1,523 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Adrian received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $600 is paid. He had never been late before November's medical emergency.
Adrian called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $145 first, which isn't available.
The household includes two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
Adrian is working on getting back on his 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 $600 goes:
• Heating arrears: $280
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Adrian?
