Electricity shut-off notice: help Riley pay $700
Help Riley cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States1,726 views
The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $700. 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 $105 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $270
• Reconnection and late fees: $145
• Down payment on a payment plan: $285
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Cầu Giấy.
Wishing you peace, Riley. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal.
