Help Josiane with an overdue electricity bill before the rainy season

The electricity account is 2 months behind. Josiane received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $200 is paid. She had never been late before a reduction in hours. Josiane 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 rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Josiane is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Josiane's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Water arrears: $130 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $35 Glad we found this place.
