Electricity shut-off notice: help René pay $550
René is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $550 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. René received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $550 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair.
René called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $115 first, which isn't available.
The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home.
René is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in René's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $370
• Reconnection and late fees: $80
• Down payment on a payment plan: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Yves. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
You're not alone, Yves. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 20 people at work. All the best!
good luck, Yves. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 18 people at work. Love from Winston-Salem.
