Help Sarah with an overdue electricity and water bill before summer
Sarah is behind on electricity and water bills after August's medical emergency and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Sarah received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before August's medical emergency.
Sarah called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Sarah 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 $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $60
• Reconnection and late fees: $30
• Down payment on a payment plan: $60
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Akoth. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Sending love, Akoth. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
