The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on June unless I pay $500. I have never been late before losing my job in March. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $60 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $260 • Reconnection and late fees: $90 • Down payment on a payment plan: $150 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
