Electricity shut-off notice: help Pooja pay $150

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $150. I have never been late before May's medical emergency. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, 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. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Thanks for being kind about this.
