Help me with an overdue electricity bill before winter

Claudia is behind on electricity bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $150 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 November unless I pay $150. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $55 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter without electricity 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 $150 goes: โ€ข Utility arrears: $115 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $20 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Claudia

  • You're not alone, Claudia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 11 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

    • Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together

      • Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Butwal so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Petrรณpolis

        • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
