Electricity shut-off notice: help Nao pay $500

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Nao needs $500 before October.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $500. 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 $60 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the rainy season 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 $500 goes: • Electricity arrears: $185 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $225 Thanks for reading all this.
