Electricity shut-off notice: help Samuel pay $200

A disconnection notice for electricity arrived and Samuel needs $200 before February.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Samuel received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Samuel called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Samuel is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Samuel's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $120 • Reconnection and late fees: $25 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 If you're reading this, thank you.
