Electricity shut-off notice: help Ruth pay $800
A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Ruth needs $800 before July.
🇺🇸 United States1,830 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. Ruth received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $800 is paid. She had never been late before April's medical emergency.
Ruth called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $80 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Ruth is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $800 goes:
• Utility arrears: $470
• Reconnection and late fees: $90
• Down payment on a payment plan: $240
Every share and every dollar helps.
