Electricity shut-off notice: help Tammy pay $750

The electricity account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless I pay $750. 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 $140 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, 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 Tammy's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $750 goes: • Electricity arrears: $390 • Reconnection and late fees: $160 • Down payment on a payment plan: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
