Electricity shut-off notice: help Nuala pay $600
Help Nuala cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇮🇪 Limerick, Munster, Ireland1,265 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $600. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter 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 $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $220
• Reconnection and late fees: $145
• Down payment on a payment plan: $235
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Nuala. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Setagaya.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Limerick
Thank you. If you're in Limerick I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Limerick.
Best of luck, Nuala. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings
