Electricity shut-off notice: help Louise pay $900

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Louise needs $900 before October.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Louise received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $900 is paid. She had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Louise called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $170 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Louise is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $900 goes: • Heating arrears: $570 • Reconnection and late fees: $105 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 With deep gratitude, Julien

Updates from Julien

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($158 in total) I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Brampton: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. 12% there. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Thank you. - Julien

    • Julien Léo LemoineOwnerAnswer

      Heating arrears is $570 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
