Electricity shut-off notice: help Doron pay $700

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $700. I have never been late before losing my job in June. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $700 goes: • Heating arrears: $350 • Reconnection and late fees: $110 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
