Electricity shut-off notice: help Sakura pay $550
Help Sakura cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $550. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
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 Sakura's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Utility arrears: $360
• Reconnection and late fees: $95
• Down payment on a payment plan: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Iași
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sakura
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utility arrears is the biggest at $360. Thanks for asking.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Arusha!
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Tokyo. I'll ask around and let you know!
Hope things get better soon, Sakura. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Tokyo
