The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless I pay $650. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $125 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $650 goes: • Utility arrears: $340 • Reconnection and late fees: $100 • Down payment on a payment plan: $210 Thank you for reading my story.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kenji

    • Utility arrears is $340 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kawasaki.

    • Wishing you peace, Kenji. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kenji?

        • Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal.

                • sending strength, Kenji. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
