Electricity shut-off notice: help Patrick pay $900
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Patrick needs $900 before October.
🇨🇦 Canada913 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $900. I have never been late before a reduction in hours.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $135 first, which I don't have.
I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season 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 Patrick's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Water arrears: $490
• Reconnection and late fees: $150
• Down payment on a payment plan: $260
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Machakos.
your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
