Electricity shut-off notice: help Ronnie pay $500
Help Ronnie cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada402 views
The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on May unless I pay $500. 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 $160 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, 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 $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $250
• Reconnection and late fees: $85
• Down payment on a payment plan: $165
Every share and every dollar helps.
