Electricity shut-off notice: help Frieda pay $550
Help Frieda cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.
🇩🇪 Germany652 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $550. I have never been late before June's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Frieda's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Gas arrears: $200
• Reconnection and late fees: $140
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Mississauga
hang in there, Frieda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Akron.
I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Mombasa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Berlin.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Frieda!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gas arrears comes first ($200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
