Electricity shut-off notice: help Angel pay $850
Help Angel cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the rainy season.
Anywhere in the world1,124 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $850. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $140 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity 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 Angel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $850 goes:
• Water arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $105
• Down payment on a payment plan: $205
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Angel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($89 in total) I made the first payment toward water arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Angel
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for water arrears is now scheduled.
