Electricity shut-off notice: help Stephanie pay $750
Help Stephanie cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this winter.
Anywhere in the world674 views
The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $750. 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 $165 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 Stephanie's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Heating arrears: $450
• Reconnection and late fees: $130
• Down payment on a payment plan: $170
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Wollongong.
Thinking of you, Stephanie. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Stephanie. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
