Electricity shut-off notice: help Alexander pay $650

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Alexander needs $650 before March.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $650. 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 $190 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months without electricity 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Alexander's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $650 goes: • Gas arrears: $310 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $230 Thank you for reading my story. - Alexander
