Electricity shut-off notice: help Laura pay $550

Laura is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in October and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in October. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $65 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer 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 Laura's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $550 goes: • Electricity arrears: $230 • Reconnection and late fees: $150 • Down payment on a payment plan: $170 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Laura

        Shared this with my family. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
