Electricity shut-off notice: help Irene pay $350

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Irene needs $350 before November.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $350. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. 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 $350 goes: • Heating arrears: $210 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Irene
