Electricity shut-off notice: help Jade pay $950
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Jade needs $950 before January.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $950. 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 $170 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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.
Every dollar goes to the account in Jade's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Gas arrears: $490
• Reconnection and late fees: $145
• Down payment on a payment plan: $315
With deep gratitude,
Jade

So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Joliet
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jade?
Thank you. If you're in Durham I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Manchester.
