Electricity shut-off notice: help Andrew pay $600

Help Andrew cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $600. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $75 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through summer 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 Andrew's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $600 goes: • Utility arrears: $370 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $175 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
