Electricity shut-off notice: help Young-ho pay $500
Young-ho is behind on electricity bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $500 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $500. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through the cold months 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 Young-ho's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $500 goes:
• Utility arrears: $230
• Reconnection and late fees: $125
• Down payment on a payment plan: $145
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
