The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $400. I have never been late before May's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $165 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. 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 Anthony's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $400 goes: • Electricity arrears: $220 • Reconnection and late fees: $70 • Down payment on a payment plan: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Anthony
