Electricity shut-off notice: help Daniel pay $950
Daniel is behind on electricity bills after August's medical emergency and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $950. I have never been late before August'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 two young children, and going through summer 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.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $950 goes:
• Water arrears: $540
• Reconnection and late fees: $180
• Down payment on a payment plan: $230
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 46% funded and I made the first payment toward down payment on a payment plan.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
you're not alone, Daniel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Los Angeles
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lahore.
stay strong, Daniel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Best of luck, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Berlin.
