Electricity shut-off notice: help Bennett pay $650
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Bennett needs $650 before November.
Anywhere in the world990 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 $650. 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 $180 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter 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 Bennett's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $650 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $300
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $265
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Salerno.
So sorry you're going through this, Bennett. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Bennett. Hope you get there. Greetings from San Diego.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Istanbul.
hope it all works out, Bennett. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
