Electricity shut-off notice: help Jonathan pay $800
Help Jonathan cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $800. I have never been late before losing my job in May.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $120 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $800 goes:
• Heating arrears: $480
• Reconnection and late fees: $110
• Down payment on a payment plan: $210
Glad we found this place.
