Electricity shut-off notice: help Ji-ho pay $750

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Ji-ho needs $750 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 $750. I have never been late before losing my job in August. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season 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 Ji-ho's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Utility arrears: $540 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $155 I hope life is good to you.
