Electricity shut-off notice: help Gabriel pay $200

Gabriel is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in July and needs $200 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $200. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Gabriel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Gas arrears: $100 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gabriel

  • It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

    • You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted

      • Best of luck. Hope you get there. Sent it to 12 people at work. Love from Hải Phòng

            Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 37 people at work.

            • Hope it all works out, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

              • Wishing you peace, Gabriel. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Springfield donated after I showed her your page.

                • Best of luck, Gabriel. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.

                  • Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

                    • wishing you the best, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Flint this morning. All the best

                        hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Thrissur.

                        • So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                          • Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Hawassa.
