Electricity shut-off notice: help Everett pay $650
Everett is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $650 to avoid a shut-off.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom745 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. Everett received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $650 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Everett called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $85 first, which isn't available.
The household includes three children under ten, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
Everett is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $650 goes:
• Utility arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $55
• Down payment on a payment plan: $225
If you're reading this, thank you.

This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jabalpur
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Everett?
Thank you. If you're in London I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of London.
best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

hope it all works out, Melanie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
