Electricity shut-off notice: help Jennifer pay $800

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Jennifer needs $800 before August.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Jennifer received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Jennifer called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, 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. Jennifer is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Jennifer's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $800 goes: • Electricity arrears: $450 • Reconnection and late fees: $70 • Down payment on a payment plan: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
