Electricity shut-off notice: help Pradeep pay $950
Pradeep is behind on electricity bills after a reduction in hours and needs $950 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $950. 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 $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at 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 $950 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $680
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $175
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Pradeep
Good news. Because of your gifts ($855 in total) the plan for down payment on a payment plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
