The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with three children under ten, 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 $150 goes: • Water arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.

                  Sure. The biggest one is water arrears, $60. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
