Electricity shut-off notice: help Florence pay $100

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Florence needs $100 before October.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $100. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, and going through the rainy season 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 $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $30 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Florence
