Electricity shut-off notice: help Rubén pay $200

Help Rubén cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $200. 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 $45 first, which I don't have. I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Rubén's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Utility arrears: $110 • Reconnection and late fees: $55 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rubén
