Electricity shut-off notice: help Citra pay $100
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Citra needs $100 before November.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $100. 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 $20 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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 Citra's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $100 goes:
• Water arrears: $40
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Citra. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Citra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from San Francisco
