Help Gloria with an overdue electricity and water bill before summer

Help Gloria cover an overdue electricity and water bill so the household stays safe this summer.

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Gloria received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $900 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Gloria called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $130 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Gloria is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $900 goes: • Electricity arrears: $510 • Reconnection and late fees: $150 • Down payment on a payment plan: $240 If you're reading this, thank you.
