Electricity shut-off notice: help Rima pay $100

Help Rima cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Rima received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in November. Rima called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Rima is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rima's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Utility arrears: $70 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Thanks for being kind about this. - Faruk

    Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
