Electricity shut-off notice: help Dilara pay $250
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Dilara needs $250 before July.
Anywhere in the world754 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in March.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $140
• Reconnection and late fees: $35
• Down payment on a payment plan: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hang in there, Dilara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Bogra.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dilara.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. electricity arrears comes first ($140) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Niterói.
hope you get there. Greetings from Uberlândia
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless

Thinking of you and your family, Dilara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, Dilara. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Dilara. Hope you get there.
your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Kozhikode but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts, Dilara. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family, Dilara. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Dilara. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jakarta.

Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bursa.
Keep going, Dilara. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Bursa.
